E
You told me there were always blue skies coming
                                                B
Well, I tried and failed to make it through the grey
         E                                   C#m
And I've never been more tired but I'll keep running
                 A             B              E
'Cause I've been told tomorrow brings another day

[Verse 2]
E
There's a whisper on the wind that keeps me going
                                 B
It promises to lead the way back home
      E                               C#m
And I hope to God above that it keeps blowing
          A                   B             E
Because I don't know if I can make it on my own

[Chorus]
    C#m          A                 E
And oh, the fire burns and then it dies
        A                             B
But the embers draw me back to what I knew
      A                             G#            C#m  B
If we look back when we die at the life we left behind
  A                   B               E
I know, my dear, that all I'll see is you

[Verse 3]
E
There's a stranger staring at me from the mirror
                                  B
He's foreign and familiar all the same
    E                              C#m
And with each passing hour it gets clearer
     A                  B              E
That soon there will be no one left to blame

[Chorus]
    C#m          A                 E
And oh, the fire burns and then it dies
        A                             B
But the embers draw me back to what I knew
      A                             G#            C#m  B
If we look back when we die at the life we left behind
  A                   B               E
I know, my dear, that all I'll see is you

[Verse 4]
E
Because love will take your whole life if you let it
                                        B
It'll lead you straight to heaven or to hell
      E                                C#m
But I think we give the devil too much credit
    A                B            E
For everything we're doing to ourselves

[Chorus]
    C#m          A                 E
And oh, the fire burns and then it dies
        A                             B
But the embers draw me back to what I knew
      A                             G#            C#m  B
If we look back when we die at the life we left behind
  A                   B               E
I know, my dear, that all I'll see is you
