Lyrics

Hearts are (C)worn in (G)these dark a (C)ges.

You’re not a lone in this sto ry’s pag es.

Night (C)has fall en ’mongst the (F)liv ing and the (C)dy ing.

And I’ll (Dm7)try to hold it in, yeah, I’ll (Fmaj7)try to hold it in.

The (Am)world’s on (Cmaj7)fire,

it’s (F)more than I (C)can han dle.

(G)Tap in to (Am)the wa ter, I (F)try to bring my share.

(Am)Try to bring (Cmaj7)more,

(F)more than I (C)can han dle.

(G)Bring it to (Am)the ta ble, I (F)bring what I am a ble.

I watch the heav ens for my fi nal (C)call ing,

some thing I can (C)do to (F)change what’s com ing.

Stay close (C)to me while the (F)sky is (C)fall ing.

I don’t (Bb)wan na be left a lone,

don’t wan na be a lone.

The Hearts break, hearts mend,

love still hurts.

Vi sions clash, planes (G)crash,

still there’s talk of sav ing souls, still the cold

is clos ing in on (Bb)us.

We part the (Cmaj7)veil on our (F)kill er (C)sun.

Stray from the (Cmaj7)straight line on (F)this short (C)run.

The more (Cmaj7)we take, the (F)less we be (C)come.

The (Am)for tune of (Cmaj7)one man (F)means less for (C)some.

The (Am)world’s on (Cmaj7)fire,

it’s (F)more than I (C)can han dle.

(G)Tap in to (Am)the wa ter, I (F)try to bring my share.

(Am)Try to bring (Cmaj7)more,

(F)more than I (C)can han dle.

(G)Bring it to (Am)the ta ble, I (F)bring what I am a ble.

The (Am)world’s on (Cmaj7)fire,

it’s (F)more than I (C)can han dle.

(G)Tap in to (Am)the wa ter, I (F)try to bring my share.

(Am)Try to bring (Cmaj7)more,

(F)more than I (C)can han dle.

(G)Bring it to (Am)the ta ble, I (F)bring what I am a ble.

The (F)bring what I am a ble.
