Lyrics

We can nev er go home,

I’ll help you car ry the load,

Our blood is cold and we’re a (Am)lone,

but I’m a lone with (C)you.

(F)Help me to car ry the fire,

we will (Am)keep it a light to (F)geth er.

Help me to car ry the (C)fire,

it will (Am)light our way for (F)ev er.

If I say, “Shut your (Am)eyes,”

if I say, “Look a (C)way,”

bur y your face in my (Am)should er,

think of a birth (C)day.

The things you put in your hands,

they will (G)stay

here for (C)ev er.

Our blood is cold and we’re a (Am)lone,

love,

but I’m a lone with (C)you.

(F)Help me to car ry the fire,

we will (Am)keep it a light to (F)geth er.

Help me to car ry the (C)fire,

it will (Am)light our way for (F)ev er.

(F)Help me to car ry the fire,

we will (Am)keep it a light to (F)geth er.

Help me to car ry the (C)fire,

it will (Am)light up way for (F)ev er.

If I say, “Shut your (Am)eyes,”

if I say, “Shut your (C)eyes,”

bur y me in sur (Am)prise

when I say, “Shut your (C)eyes.”

(F)Help me to car ry the fire,

we will (Am)keep it a light to (F)geth er.

Help me to car ry the (C)fire,

it will (Am)light our way for (F)ev er.
