A5   G5   F5   C5   (x 4)

  F5                  G5         C5
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
  D5         C5       F5    
You're not alone in this story's pages
  A5        G5                  F5              C5
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
  D5                           F5
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in 


A5               G5          F5              C5
The world's on fire, it's more than I can handle 
G5                A5       F5    
I dive into the water, I try to pull my ship 
A5               G5      F5              C5
I try to bring more, more than I can handle 
G5              A5       F5  
Bring it to the table, bring what I am able


F5                         G5       C5
I watch the heavens and I find a calling 
D5              C5           F5
Something I can do to change this moment 
A5            G5            F5        C5
Stay close to me while the sky is falling 
D5                            F5
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone 

(Chorus) 


D5               C5        
Hearts break, hearts mend
C5
Love still hurts 
D5                 G5
Visions clash, planes crash 
G5
Still there's talk of 
D5                  C5
Saving souls, still the cold
                F5
Is closing in on us 


A5   G5   F5   C5  (x4)

A5          G5          F5      C5
We part the veil on Archille's sun
A5               G5               F5         C5
Stray from the straight line on this short run 
A5          G5          F5        C5 
The more we take, the less we become 
A5          G5            F5          C5
A fortune of one that means less for some 


A5   G5   F5   C5   

G5   A5   F5      (x2)
(Chorus X 2)
