VERSE:
 A              B   A                  B
Are you lying there on the cold dark ground

 C#m                                             
Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound

 A                  B    A                         B
What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time

 C#m
What do you want so bad that you have never had

 A                B   A                       B

C#m
Feel the warmth again make it rise again

  A                 B    A                  B
Remember your last time you tried to let it in

They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart

 A               B    A                  B
