Intro: A#m, F#, C#, G#
A#m G#
The sky is blind
F#
Eternal night
C# D#m
Keeps telling me to quit the fight
A#m G#
And in this shelter I realize
A#m G#
So many times
F#
I’ve tried to find
C# D#m
Another one to close my eyes
A#m G#
But all these years I’ve fallen down in vain
C#
Silence so unreal
G# D#m
Smoke gathers from the flame
The wind defeats me
F# C# G#
Hoping you'll still be there
A#m F# C#
When the fire dies at night
G# A#m
When the burning rain subsides
F# C# G#
Take my hand and slowly fall into me
A#m F# C#
Every time I close my eyes
G# F#
I can see your smile it's beckoning
G#
For me to come home
A#m G#
I’ve tried to run
F#
I’ve tried to hide
C# D#m
Tried to face the fear inside
A#m G#
But in the end the darkness finds me
A#m G# F#
Made of stone and made of fire
C# D#m
Then the breath that binds our hearts
So when the ships go down
A#m G#
I'll hold you near
C#
Silence so unreal
G# D#m
Smoke gathers from the flame
A toxic people
F# C# G#
Chemicals in the air
A#m F# C#
When the fire dies at night
G# A#m
When the burning rain subsides
F# C# G#
Take my hand and slowly fall into me
A#m F# C#
Every time I close my eyes
G# F#
I can see your smile it's beckoning
G#
For me to come home
Solo: F#, G#, F#, F#m, G#
A#m F# C#
When the fire dies at night
G# A#m
When the burning rain subsides
F# C# G#
Take my hand and slowly fall into me
A#m F# C#
Every time I close my eyes
G# F#
I can see your smile it's beckoning
G# A#m
For me to come home
