[Verse 1]
Em7 Cmaj7 Em7
Sitting by the fire, trying to keep warm
Cmaj7 Am7
Feeling my desires claw at me like thorns
D7
When I was young I knew a man, but not too well
Am7 C
And he said to me, "Boy, if you want to succeed
D7
You gotta go through hell"
[Verse 2]
Em7 Cmaj7 Em7
And as the flames grow higher, I find I'm lost in thought
Cmaj7 Am7
Seems everything I want to be is everything I'm not

Am7 C D7
Or maybe it's true and I'm not well
E7
But I can't tell
[Chorus 1]

It won't be burning for long, ooh
[Verse 3]
Em7 Cmaj7
And now arrives the time to place your bets in life
Em7 Cmaj7
But the odds aren't in my favour
Am7 D7
And it's moments like these where I'm wishing that I was braver
Am7 C D7
‘Cause I know that I could be something great sooner or later
E7
Right now I tell myself to just
[Chorus 2]
Am7 C
Sit down try to rest a bit

Things are always harder when you're in the thick of it
Am7 C
Ease up let your mind rest

[Bridge]
Cmaj7 D6
Feels like I'm lost inside this train of thought
Bm7 Em D6
Reaching for the stars I'm like an astronaut
Cmaj7 D6 Bm7 E7 D6
Trying to show the world just what I've got
Cmaj7 D6
So I'll show you real slow
Bm7 Em D6
‘Cause I think everyone would benefit from knowing it, so
Cmaj7 D6 Bm7 Em
listen real close
[Chorus 3]
