Intro: D A E D (2x)


Verse 1:
D                 A
  We can never go home
   E         A 
We no longer have one
( E ) D                         A
      I'll help you carry the load
E                      A 
  I'll carry you in my arms
( E ) D                 A 
      The kiss of the snow
    E                   A 
The prayers that whirl above us
( E ) D                             A 
     Our blood is cold and we're alone
E                    A 
  But I'm alone with you


Chorus:
D                    A  
Help me to carry the fire
        E                D
We will keep it alight together
D                    A 
Help me to carry the fire
      E                D 
It'll light our way forever


Verse 2:
D                    A 
  If I say shut your eyes
E                A 
  If I say look away
( E ) D                         A 
    Bury your face in my shoulder
E                  A 
  Think of a birthday
( E ) D                                  A 
      The things you've heard in your head
E                        A 
  They will stay here forever
( E ) D                               A 
      Our blood is cold and we're alone love
E                     A 
  But I'm alone with you

D                    A 
  If I say shut your eyes

  If I say shut your eyes
D              A 
Bury me in surprise

  When I say shut your eyes, eyes
