Intro: C#m B A E/G#Verse 1:
C#m B A We've been lost for a long time E/G# C#m In a rut, no escape signs B A E/G# C#m And, for love, we were so blind B A Oh, I hate to see you cry E/G# There've been times C#m Where the truth lied B A E/G# Now it's clear as a blue skyPre-Chorus
F#m E Like a bandaid over deeper cuts B We tried F#m E We couldn't stop the fate descending B On the nightC#m B A We'll build a fire E/G# C#m And torch our old lives B A E/G# C#m And hope the spark survives B A Use words as kindling E/G# C#m Light up the night sky B A Let the memories take flight E/G# C#m B A And hope the spark survives E/G# C#m B A E/G# Yeah, we hope the spark survivesVerse 2:
C#m B Oh, I wonder A Will we pull through? E/G# C#m All we ever do is argue B A E/G# C#m With not a lot, but we make do B A How I wish you wouldn't say that E/G# C#m There are things you can't take back B A E/G# When you leave, I always face factsPre-Chorus
F#m Like a hand that's trying E B To hold the water back F#m E We couldn't stop the ocean B Leaking in the cracksC#m B A We'll build a fire E/G# C#m And torch our old lives B A E/G# C#m And hope the spark survives B A Use words as kindling E/G# C#m Light up the night sky B A Let the memories take flight E/G# C#m B A And hope the spark survives E/G# C#m B A E/G# Yeah, we hope the spark survivesBridge:
G#m We've taken roads B E That led to confusion But right now B F# That don't matter at all G#m We'll bring it back B E Our love's no illusion The higher we go B F# C#m The harder we fall, and nowB A We'll build a fire E/G# C#m And torch our old lives B A E/G# C#m And hope the spark survives B A Use words as kindling E/G# C#m Light up the night sky B A Let the memories take flight E/G# C#m B A And hope the spark survives E/G# C#m B A Yeah, we hope the spark survives E/G# C#m B A E Yeah, we hope the spark survives
