World On Fire - Sarah McLachlan 


Am   G   F   C   (x 4)

  F                  G         C
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
  Dm         C       F    
You're not alone in this story's pages
  Am        G                  F              C
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
  Dm                           F
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in 

Am               G          F              C
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle 
G                Am       F    
I dive into the water, I try to pull my ship 
Am               G      F              C
I try to bring more, more than I can handle 
G              Am       F  
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able

F                         G       C
I watch the heavens and I find a calling 
Dm              C           F
Something I can do to change this moment 
Am            G            F        C
Stay close to me while the sky is falling 
Dm                            F
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone 


(Chorus) 

Dm               C        
Hearts break, hearts mend
C
Love still hurts 
Dm                 G
Visions clash, planes crash 
G
Still there's talk of 
Dm                  C
Saving souls, still the cold
                F
Is closing in on us 

Am   G   F   C  (x4)

Am          G          F      C
We part the veil on Archille's sun
Am               G               F         C
Stray from the straight line on this short run 
Am          G          F        C 
The more we take, the less we become 
Am          G            F          C
A fortune of one that means less for some 

Am   G   F   C   
G   Am   F      (x2)

(Chorus X 2)
