Verse 1:
Db
Blowing on candles
                 Gbmaj7
Like it was your first birthday
   Db
We slow danced in front of the mirror
                    Gbmaj7
Depicting, what are we going to do next?
 

     Db
Been looking for ways
               Gbmaj7
To do what the world says
  Db
a mutter from beneath the earth
             Gbmaj7
Said that it loved me
 
Pre-Chorus:
              Ebm        Ab
They say that time will mend
            Db               Fm
All all the times that I've broken
         Ebm     Ab
And they grew a lily
     Db           Fm
As a mockery for me
 
Chorus:
                 Db
'Cause I keep on searching
          Gbmaj7
I keep on searching
 
Verse 2:
     Db
I'll relight my candles
           Gbmaj7
On my 18th birthday -relight my candles-
    Db
The twinkles on the sky,
      Gbmaj7
Are a lie
 
Pre-Chorus:
    Ebm            Ab
But they say that time
    Db           Fm
Can fix what is broken
        Ebm     Ab
So they grew a lily
     Db             Fm
As a gratitude for me
 
Chorus:
                 Db
'Cause I keep on living
          Gbmaj7
I keep on living
 
Bridge:
              Db
We'll keep on living -searching for paths to build-
              Gbmaj7
We'll keep on living -what once was lost-
              Db
We'll keep on living -when I said I didn't want to give in-
              Gbmaj7
We'll keep on living -I really meant it-
 
Outro:
     Db
I'll still blow my candles
           Gbmaj7
On my 80th birthday
    Db
The sizzling sound of my breath
             Gbmaj7
Would be the last thing you'll hear
