lyrics
It’s hard to find this place in the dark Bring your light to a quiet park Lay down underneath the stars The night is young, the night is ours This grave is marked with a cross A little sign to prove your loss Maybe he’s up there in heaven You lost him when you were seven Passing through time to a new day Pushing through rhyme for a new way She never wanted for him to leave Now she’s looking at an effigy But our love will never die Late at night you can hear her crying Sometimes she feels so alone He’ll never get to see his daughter grown She leaves a prayer and 7 stones May peace be with your weary bones Passing through time to a new day Pushing through rhyme for a new way I can feel your spirit moving over me No one really knows when death is planned We can make a new life in the morning Reincarnate this man Reincarnate this man
CHORDS
The Night Is Ours by Matt Hopper
Capo 7 (chords are written in standard tuning)
[Bm] It’s hard to find this place in the dark
[Bm] Bring your light to a quiet park
[Em] Lay down underneath the stars
[Bm] The night is young, the night is ours
This grave is marked with a cross
A little sign to prove your loss
Maybe he’s up there in heaven
You lost him when you were seven
[F#7] Passing through time to a [Em] new day [Bm]
Pushing through rhyme for a new way
She never wanted for him to leave
Now she’s looking at an effigy
But our love will never die
Late at night you can hear her crying
Sometimes she feels so alone
He’ll never get to see his daughter grown
She leaves a prayer and 7 stones
May peace be with your weary bones
Passing through time to a new day
Pushing through rhyme for a new way
[D] I can feel your spirit moving [Em] over me
No one really knows when death is planned
We can make a new life in the morning
[F#7] Reincarnate this [Em] man
Reincarnate this man …ohhhhhhh [Bm]
