1. On 


This pattern pretty much repeats 3 times, and the other guitar is just strumming the chords. 

Lyrics: 
Your voice is adrift I can't expect it 
To sing to me 
As if I was the only one 
I'll follow you 
A leaf that's following the sun 
When will my weight be too much for you? 
When will my ideas really be my own? 
This moment keeps on moving 
We were never meant to hold on 

Well this was a scene worth waking up for 
When I woke up 
You planted me in my own pot 
I don't know why 
But somehow it just feels so wrong 
When you set i will be lonely 
But when you rise again I'll have become the sun 
And I will shine down upon you 
As if you were the only one 

Your voice is your own I can't protect it 
You'll have to sing 
Averse no one has ever known 
Don't be afraid 
Because no one ever sings alone 
Your weight will never be too much for me 
Your ideas have always been your own 
And this moment keeps on moving 
We were never meant to hold on
