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

     Am          G
The world is on fire
      F               C
It's more than I can handle
   G            Am
I dive into the water
F              
Try to bring my share
Am           G
Try to bring more
F                C
More than I can handle
G               Am
Bring it to the table
F
Bring what I am able

   Am        G          F          C
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
         Am       G            F             C
There's something I can do to change what's coming
Am             G            F      C
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Dm
Don't wanna be left alone
       F
Don't wanna be alone

    Am          G
The world is on fire
      F               C
It's more than I can handle
   G            Am
I dive into the water
F              
Try to bring my share
Am           G
Try to bring more
F                C
More than I can handle
G               Am
Bring it to the table
F
Bring what I am able

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

Am G F C x 4

Am           G       F            C
We part the veil on our killer'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
The fortune of one that means less for some

Am G F C
