Em             D
You are still burning
                   Bm9
The flame that is turning
               C           Em9
My smoldering ash into a bird
Em9                    D
So stay close my brother
                      Bm
I couldn?t stand the loss
               C
You are the bridge of action
Am9                    Em9
I need you to help me cross
Am                D
I need you to help me

Chorus

My arms I?ll take hold of you

My hand that is breaking
                      Bm9
Is the hand that is making
          C                 Am9
All the dead things in me grow
              Em9
A gift of a holy loss
       Am9           D
This burning at the dross

Why do you set out to break the one thing
           Em9                A7     Em9
The one thing that I have to give
               A7
Its hard to believe that I could
D              Bm7(b5) 
That I should begin again
G       Em9     A7         G     D   Em9
But I know you heart is a hand

My arms I?ll take hold of you
I know your hearts is a hand that takes hold of me
So when you break
My arms I?ll take hold of you
I know your hearts is a hand that takes hold of me
