Capo 3rd Fret
Intro: G D A Am
G D
Don't live in black and white do we?
A Am
It's just another fight to me
G D A Am
If we don't take it on we won't get far
G D
It seems so far away but so close
A Am
It's there for us to take when most
G D A Am
Would waste it don't waste it
G
And we try, and we fail
D A
And we live another day
Am
And we rise like a phoenix
G
From the flames
D A Am
And it burns but turns out golden
G D
We loved to dream aloud
A
With both feet on the ground
Am
But where's the sense in that?
G
We'd never get it back
D A Am
We'd be wasted we'd be wasted
G
And we try, and we fail
D A
And we live another day
Am
And we rise like a phoenix
G
From the flames
D A Am
And it burns but turns out golden
G
And we went for the sky
D
And fell down low
A
And flew too high
Am G
But survived cos you and I
D A Am
We turned out golden
G D
They tore it to pieces
A Am
We'll build it again
G D
Ah ah ah
A Am
Ah ah ah
G
And we try, and we fail
D A
And we live another day
Am
And we rise like a phoenix
G
From the flames
D A Am
And it burns but turns out golden
G
And we went for the sky
D
And fell down low
A
And flew too high
Am G
But survived cos you and I
D A Am
We turned out golden
