Celebrate Your Win

Intro

(Soft humming)

(Gentle guitar strumming)

Verse 1

Polished shoes on a quiet hardwood floor

Standing right outside your heavy door

You look like a dream in white

Giving back the city all its light

Pre-Chorus

Hand over hand

Trying hard to understand

How you grew so tall

Watching me become so small

Chorus

So celebrate your win

Let the gold light find your skin

I’ll be the shadow at the party

Watching where your new life starts

Oh celebrate your win

Let the better man walk in

I’m just the ghost of every lesson

The hollow in your happy heart

Verse 2

Polished silver on the table for two

Everything shines because of you

Tossed a penny in a dry well

Stories that I’ll never get to tell

Pre-Chorus

Face to the sun

Knowing that your race is won

While I wait for the rain

Drinking to a brand new name

Chorus

So celebrate your win

Let the gold light find your skin

I’ll be the shadow at the party

Watching where your new life starts

Oh celebrate your win

Let the better man walk in

I’m just the ghost of every lesson

The hollow in your happy heart

Bridge

I saw you laughing by the garden gate

I knew I was a moment late

Clean slate and a steady hand

Drawing lines in a different sand

Happy now

Stronger now

Gone somehow

Chorus

So celebrate your win

Let the gold light find your skin

I’ll be the shadow at the party

Watching where your new life starts

Oh celebrate your win

Let the better man walk in

I’m just the ghost of every lesson

The hollow in your happy heart
