[Verse 1]
F
  Like the sound of
thousands running
Bb
  We didn't have time
           F   F
to be terrified And all
 
the soldiers' eyes
they were looking right
                      Bb
through us That's the day
                     F
when something in us died
 
 
[Chorus 1]
F
  The kiss of death comes to you
C          Am
  Soft and wet and see through
Bb
And you never knew The
F
moment that you died
Am   F
Your eyes screamed like
a beacon fire I'm grit
         C       Am
and wire by your side
        Bb
And the face of death
Looks just like
      F
being satisfied
 
 
[Verse 2]
F
  Will we meet again?
C         Bb
  Here we are between
a laugh now and a cry
F
Piercing clear and
              C
piercing true All that
time has done to you
  Bb
I hope you find something
you remember
 
 
[Chorus 2]
   F     Dm
So light You are the
Bb           Gm F
magic in the ashes
Strike the matches
Gm       F Dm C  F
light it up   So light
     Dm
Your face in me
   Bb             Gm
So let me see you light
   F     Gm    F    Dm
it up oh light it up
    C      C   Bb
And let it burn
 
 
[Verse 3]
F
  A window seat before
               Bb
the shut down 36,000
               F
feet above the ground
F
  Done a thousand laps
around the world now
      Bb
But I never stopped to
            F
see it no I never
looked around
 
 
[Chorus 3]
F
  The kiss of death comes to you
C          Am
  Soft and wet and see through
Bb
And you never knew The
F                   F
moment that you died But the
                        C
ocean and the stars blue Set
                 Am
something in the laws
     Bb
That blasts this summer's
            F
head in And fills
us with delight
 
 
[Chorus 4]
   F     Dm
So light You are the
Bb           Gm F
magic in the ashes
Strike the matches
Gm       F Dm C  F
light it up   So light
     Dm
Your face in me
   Bb             Gm
So let me see you light
   F     Gm    F    Dm
it up oh light it up
    C      C
And let it burn
   Bb
oh whoa
           Gm
And let it burn
   Bb
oh whoa
 
 
[Outro]

then
F Bb F
 
then
F
              Like the sound of thousands running
We didn't have time to be terrified
And all the soldiers' eyes, they were looking right through us
That's the day when something in us died

The kiss of death comes to you
Soft and wet and see through
And you never knew
The moment that you died
Your eyes screamed like a beacon fire
I'm grit and wire by your side
And the face of death
Looks just like being satisfied

Will we meet again?
Here we are between a laugh now and a cry
Piercing clear and piercing true
All that time has done to you
I hope you find something you remember

So light
You are the magic in the ashes
Strike the matches light it up
So light
Your face in me
So let me see you light it up, oh light it up
And let it burn

A window seat before the shut down
36, 000 feet above the ground
Done a thousand laps around the world now
But I never stopped to see it, no I never looked around

The kiss of death comes to you
Soft and wet and see through
And you never knew
The moment that you died
But the ocean and the stars blue
Set something in the laws
That blasts this summer's head in
And fills us with delight

So light
You are the magic in the ashes
Strike the matches light it up
So light
Your face in me
So let me see you light it up, oh light it up
And let it burn, oh
And let it burn, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
