D       G         A      G

[Verse 1]

A       D                       G
Shots fired at the edge of the wire
                        A
You raise a white flag but there's no ceasefire
                Bm
The frontline of a battleground
G
Perspective drowns in Oprah Winfrey quotes
A                       D
You were hit by a wave of shit
G
You got a weight on your shoulders that is hard to shift
A
And a kind word spoken in the nick of time
                                D
Is like the strongest stitch in the thread of a lifeline

 [Chorus]
D               G
So when this day is over
                        A
And you're tired of dodging the flames
G
If you wanna get closer
G
I'll tell you one good thing
D
You've got the night to recover
G
Don't let a spark turn into a flame
A               G
So if you wanna get closer
G
I'll tell you one good thing

[Verse 2]
A
Why try throw fuel on a fire
D                       G
When your dreams keep burning and the flames get higher?
A                       Bm
The ship you sailed has ran aground
G                               A
It's going down, but we'll keep you afloat
D
There is a soul in the streets of the city
G
But it moves so fast that it makes us all dizzy
A
And a right word spoken at the perfect time
A                                               D
Is like the strongest push when you face another hill to climb

[Chorus]
D               G
So when this day is over
A
And you're tired of dodging the flames
A
If you wanna get closer
G                       D
I'll tell you one good thing
D
You've got the night to recover
G                       A
Don't let a spark turn into a flame
                        G
So if you wanna get closer
                A
I'll tell you one good thing

[Bridge]
Bm                      G
I'll tell you one good thing
A               Bm                      G
I'll tell you one good thing
A
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
Bm
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
G
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la
A                       D               D
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

[Pre-Chorus]
        G
Woah-oh-oh
A       G
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
D
So when this day is over
D               G               A
And you're tired of dodging the flames
                G
If you wanna get closer
G
I'll tell you one good thing
D                               G
You've got the night to recover (You've got the night to recover)
                        A
Don't let a spark turn into a flame
                G
So if you wanna get closer
                A
I'll tell you one good thing
