Cold Fires
View chords used in this chart
The light is dying out
And I'm just passing through
E
But I can listen to your story if you want me to
Fm D
It doesn't matter if our words are not the same
A
And I can't stay for long
Yeah, I'm just passing through
E
What you're not saying tells me more than what you're willing to
Fm D
With no regret, you couldn't help but touch the flame
We watch the blaze
[Chorus]
A
And all the places that we wanted
E
To go back to slowly vanish
Fm
Now we've gone, now we've gone
D
Now we've gone too far
A
Never let it reach the surface
E
And we almost didn't notice
Fm
How we burn, how we burn
D
How we burn in cold fires
[Verse 2]
A
Hear the ocean shout
Just like you wanted
E
So you can quiet the deafening confusion in your soul
Fm D
We're swallowed whole into the noise of illusion
A
And I can't stay for long
This room is getting cold
E
The colors fade and all the stains become more visible
Fm D
And through it all, we're only doing what we can
We watch the blaze
[Chorus]
A
And all the places that we wanted
E
To go back to slowly vanish
Fm
Now we've gone, now we've gone
D
Now we've gone too far
A
Never let it reach the surface
E
And we almost didn't notice
Fm
How we burn, how we burn
D
How we burn in cold fires
[Bridge]
E D
Where am I supposed to go
E
When I've always been unknown
D
You were my home
[Chorus]
A
And all the places that we wanted
E
To go back to slowly vanish
Fm
Now we've gone, now we've gone
D
Now we've gone too far
A
Never let it reach the surface
E
And we barely even noticed
Fm
How we burn, how we burn
D
How we burn in cold fires
