Intro: D5 A5 E5 D5 (2x)


Verse 1:
D5                 A5
  We can never go home
   E5         A5 
We no longer have one
( E5 ) D5                         A5
      I'll help you carry the load
E5                      A5 
  I'll carry you in my arms
( E5 ) D5                 A5 
      The kiss of the snow
    E5                   A5 
The prayers that whirl above us
( E5 ) D5                             A5 
     Our blood is cold and we're alone
E5                    A5 
  But I'm alone with you


Chorus:
D5                    A5  
Help me to carry the fire
        E5                D5
We will keep it alight together
D5                    A5 
Help me to carry the fire
      E5                D5 
It'll light our way forever


Verse 2:
D5                    A5 
  If I say shut your eyes
E5                A5 
  If I say look away
( E5 ) D5                         A5 
    Bury your face in my shoulder
E5                  A5 
  Think of a birthday
( E5 ) D5                                  A5 
      The things you've heard in your head
E5                        A5 
  They will stay here forever
( E5 ) D5                               A5 
      Our blood is cold and we're alone love
E5                     A5 
  But I'm alone with you

D5                    A5
