Am  G  F  C (x4)

  F                  G         C
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
  Dm         Am      F
You're not alone in this story's pages
     Am         G                  F             C
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
         Dm
And I'll try to hold it in
           F
Yeah I'll 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'll tap into the water and try to bring my share
     Am            G     F               C
I'll try to bring more, more than I can handle
      G              Am
I'll bring it to the table
      F
I'll bring what i am able


   F                       G       C
I watch the heavens but I find no calling
  Dm            Am     F
Something I can do to change what's coming
 Am           G             F      G
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
         Bbsus2
I don't wanna be left alone
       Bbsus2
Don't wanna be alone


     Am         G          F               C
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle
      G            Am        F
I'll tap into the water and try to bring my share
     Am            G     F               C
I'll try to bring more, more than I can handle
      G              Am
I'll bring it to the table
      F
I'll bring what i am able


 Dm                  C (ver.2)
Hearts break, hearts mend, love still hurts
 F                     G
Visions clash, planes crash, still there's talk of
 Dm                     C (ver.2)           Bbsus2 
Saving souls, still the cold's closing in on us


Am  G  F  C (x4)

*the guitar kind of fades out then comes back in so i'm not really sure how many times
the G on the 15th fret is picked but if you play along to it you'll get it


 Am          G       F          C
We part the veil on our killer 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 man means less for some


Am  G  F  C  G  Am  F (x2)


     Am         G          F               C
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle
      G            Am        F
I'll tap into the water and try to bring my share
     Am            G     F               C
I'll try to bring more, more than I can handle
      G              Am
I'll bring it to the table
      F
I'll bring what i am able


     Am         G          F               C
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle
      G            Am        F
I'll tap into the water and try to bring my share
     Am            G     F               C
I'll try to bring more, more than I can handle
      G              Am
I'll bring it to the table
      F
I'll bring what i am able
