Lyrics
Did you lose what won’t re turn?
Did you love but nev er learn?
The fi re’s out, but still it burns,
and (Fm)no one cares,
there’s no one there.
Did you find it hard to breathe?
Did you cry so much that (Cm)you could bare ly see?
In the dark ness all a lone,
and (Fm)no one cares;
there’s no one there.
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blind ed by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did ya,
did ya?
Did you see the sparks, feel the hope?
You are not a lone, ’cause some one’s out there
send ing out flares.
Did you break but nev er mend?
Did it hurt so much you (Cm)thought it was the end?
Lose your heart but don’t know when,
and (Fm)no one cares;
there’s no one there.
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blind ed by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did ya,
did ya?
Did you see the sparks, feel the hope?
You are not a lone, ’cause some one’s out there
send ing out flares.
flares.
Some one’s out there
send ing out flares.
Did you lose what won’t re turn?
Did you love but nev er learn?
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blind ed by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
Did ya,
did ya?
Did you see the sparks, feel the hope?
You are not a lone, ’cause some one’s out there
send ing out flares.
But did you see the flares in the sky?
Were you blind ed by the light?
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?

Did you see the sparks, feel the hope?
You are not a lone, ’cause some one’s out there

But did you see the flares there

- Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
- It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
- Can I change the key of "Flares" to match my voice or capo?
- Yes. The original is in Ab, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
- Can I slow "Flares" down to learn the words and chords?
- Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
