Bridge:
Dbm
eleven years as a pit of ash
                            A
waiting to blow away in the wind

a washed-up wunderkind
                          E
circuits blown to smoking pieces

tried to leave him there

I tried to be someone different here
       Ab
but no matter the mud that dries on my face

it’s cleaner than my insides


Dbm
you treat me like I’m special,

someone gifted, someone good,
        Ab
someone worthy, someone right

I was bright
                        A
now I’m torn to smoking pieces

no, don’t get too close
                         Ab
don’t you know that fire burns

Verse 4:
E
good

I’ll try to live

you said I could

right
               Ab
I’ll make this right
            A
you make me brave
             E
I’ll make us bright


            Ab
when people notice
                        A
we’ll bring the fire to them
               E
and we’ll show them
              Ab
what makes us brighter
