[Verse 1]
     Em  B7/F#         G
If I had nothing to my name

    Adim           G
But photographs of you

Adim             Em     C
Rescued from the flames

        Em  B7/F#        G
That is all I would ever need

   Adim          Em
As long as I can read

       G/B             C#dim
What’s written on your face
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Cmaj7     B11           Em       G 
      The strength that shines behind your eyes

Cmaj7     B11      Em              B11
      The hope and light that will never die
[Chorus 1]
Em         C           G    D
   And one promise you made

Em     C            G        D
   One promise that always remains

Em    Em7       C#dim
   No matter the price

G             C     Cm            G
Promise to survive, persevere and thrive

         Dsus4  D
As we’ve always done
[Verse 2]
        Em        B7/F#       G
And you said, the poison in a kiss

       Adim         G
Is the lie upon the lips

Adim                  Em      C
Truer words were never shared

       Em        B7/F#          G
When I feel like lies are all I hear

  Adim            Em
I pull my mem'ries near

    G/B                  C#dim  B11
The one thing they can’t take
[Chorus 2]
Em         C           G    D
   And one promise you made

Em     C            G        D
   One promise that always remains

Em    Em7       C#dim
   No matter the price

G             C     Cm            G
Promise to survive, persevere and thrive

         Dsus4  D
As we’ve always done
[Bridge]
Eb                         G
   The books still open on the table

Bb                 Bb7        Eb
   The bells still ringing in the air

Bb                  Bb7             Ebm   B
   The dreams still clinging to the pillow

Abm                            B     B7
    The songs still singing in a prayer
[Verse 3]
       Em      B7/F#                  G
Now my soul is stretching through the roots

   Adim        G
To memories of you

Adim                  Em    C
Back through time and space

         Em       B7/F#         G
To carry home the faces and the names

    Adim          C#dim
And photographs of you

B11                B7
Rescued from the flames
[Chorus 3]
Em         C           G    D
   And one promise you made

Em     C            G        D
   One promise that always remains

Em    Em7       C#dim
   No matter the price

  G             C     Cm            G
A promise to survive, persevere and thrive

    B11               Em
And dare to rise once more

  G             C     Cm            Adim
A promise to survive, persevere and thrive

                    G
Fill the world with life

         Dsus4  D
As we’ve always done

[Outro]
