[Intro]
Cm Bbsus4
Abadd9 Eb/G
 
 
[Verse 1]
Cm Bbsus4
   We've been lost for a long time
Abadd9 Eb/G                      Cm
       In  a rut, no escape signs
Bbsus4                          Abadd9 Eb/G
And   for love, we were so blind
Cm Bbsus4
   Oh,   I hate to see you cry
Abadd9 Eb/G                                    Cm
       There've been times where the truth lied
Bbsus4                        Abadd9 Eb/G
Now   it's clear as a blue sky
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Fm       Eb                 Bb/F
Like a bandaid over deeper cuts we tried
             Fm           Eb                  Bb/F
But couldn't stop the fate  descending on the night
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm Bbsus4          Abadd9 Eb/G         Cm     Bbsus4
   We'll build a fire and torch our old  lives
                  Abadd9        Eb/G
And hope the spark      survives
Cm Bbsus4             Abadd9
   Use   words as kindling
Eb/G              Cm
Light up the night  sky
Bbsus4                 Abadd9      Eb/G
Let   the memories take      flight
                  Cm        Bbsus4
And hope the spark  survives
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Abadd9 Eb/G                   Cm        Bbsus4 Abadd9 Eb/G
       Yeah, we hope the spark  survives
 
 
[Verse 2]
Cm Bbsus4
   Oh,   I wonder will we pull through?
Abadd9 Eb/G
       All we ever do is argue
Cm     Bbsus4
  With not   a lot, but we make do
Abadd9 Eb/G Cm Bbsus4
               How   I wish you wouldn't say that
Abadd9 Eb/G
       There are things you can't take back
Cm Bbsus4                             Abadd9 Eb/G
   When  you leave I always face facts
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       Fm                Eb                  Bb/F
Like a hand that's trying  to hold the water back
         Fm        Eb                  Bb/F
Couldn't stop the ocean leaking in the cracks
 
 
[Chorus]
Cm Bbsus4          Abadd9 Eb/G         Cm     Bbsus4
   We'll build a fire and torch our old  lives
                  Abadd9        Eb/G
And hope the spark      survives
Cm Bbsus4             Abadd9
   Use   words as kindling
Eb/G              Cm
Light up the night  sky
Bbsus4                 Abadd9      Eb/G
Let   the memories take      flight
                  Cm        Bbsus4
And hope the spark  survives
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Abadd9 Eb/G                   Cm        Bbsus4 Abadd9 Eb/G
       Yeah, we hope the spark  survives
 
 
[Interlude]
Gm
  We've taken roads
Bb                 Eb
  That led to confusion
                         Bb        F
But right now that don't matter at all
Gm
  We'll bring it back
Bb                  Eb
  Our love's no illusion
                      Bb        F
The higher we go, the harder we fall
 
 
[Chorus]
   Cm
And  now
Bbsus4          Abadd9 Eb/G         Cm     Bbsus4
We'll build a fire and torch our old  lives
                  Abadd9        Eb/G
And hope the spark      survives
Cm Bbsus4             Abadd9
   Use   words as kindling
Eb/G              Cm
Light up the night  sky
Bbsus4                 Abadd9      Eb/G
Let   the memories take      flight
                  Cm        Bbsus4
And hope the spark  survives
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Abadd9 Eb/G                   Cm Bbsus4
       Yeah, we hope the spark   survives
Abadd9 Eb/G                   Cm
       Yeah, we hope the spark  survives
 
 
[Outro]
Eb Abadd9 Eb Bb
              We've been lost for a long time
In a rut, no escape signs
And for love, we were so blind
Oh, I hate to see you cry
There've been times where the truth lied
Now it's clear as a blue sky

Like a Band-Aid over deeper cuts, we tried
But couldn't stop the fate descending on the night

We'll build a fire
And torch our old life
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah, we hope the spark survives

Oh, I wonder will we pull through?
All we ever do is argue
With not a lot, but we make do
How I wish you wouldn't say that
There are things you can't take back
When you leave, I always face facts

Like a hand that's trying to hold the water back
We couldn't stop the ocean leaking in the cracks

We'll build a fire
And torch our old life
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah, we hope the spark survives

We've taken roads (oh, we've taken roads)
That led to confusion
But right now that don't matter at all (nah, nah)
We'll bring it back (yeah, we'll bring it back)
Our love's no illusion
The higher we go, the harder we fall and now

We'll build a fire
And torch our old life
And hope the spark survives
Use words as kindling
Light up the night sky
Let the memories take flight
And hope the spark survives
Yeah, we hope the spark survives
And we hope the spark survives
