[Intro] | Em Em7 | Cmaj9 Cmaj7 | Em Em7 | Cmaj9 | [Verse 1]
Em7              Cmaj7                Em7
  Sitting by the fire, trying to keep warm

             Cmaj7                 Am7
Feeling my desires claw at me like thorns

                                           D7
When I was young I knew a man, but not too well

                   Am7                     C
And he said to me, "Boy, if you want to succeed

                     D7
You gotta go through hell"
[Verse 2]
Em7                      Cmaj7                      Em7
  And as the flames grow higher, I find I'm lost in thought

                   Cmaj7                        Am7
Seems everything I want to be is everything I'm not

                    D7
But maybe I'm being too hard on myself

Am7             C                D7
  Or maybe it's true and I'm not well

E7
  But I can't tell
[Chorus 1]
Am7        C
  Sit down try to rest a bit

Bm7                        E7
  Things are always harder when you're in the thick of it

Am7                     C
  Ease up let your mind rest

                Bm7                E7
Think about the time missed from a life of always worrying

Am7   C                             Bm7
  And though I know my flame may be burning still

  E7                           Am7   Cmaj7 Bm7
I know it won’t be burning for long, ooh

E7                        Am7   Cmaj7 Bm7
  It won't be burning for long, ooh
[Verse 3]
Em7                   Cmaj7
  And now arrives the time to place your bets in life

Em7                         Cmaj7
  But the odds aren't in my favour

                      Am7                                D7
And it's moments like these where I'm wishing that I was braver

                     Am7                C               D7
‘Cause I know that I could be something great sooner or later

E7
  Right now I tell myself to just
[Chorus 2]
Am7        C
  Sit down try to rest a bit

Bm7                        E7
  Things are always harder when you're in the thick of it

Am7                     C
  Ease up let your mind rest

                Bm7                E7
Think about the time missed from a life of always worrying

Am7   C                             Bm7
  And though I know my flame may be burning still

  E7                           Am7   Cmaj7 Bm7
I know it won’t be burning for long, ooh

E7                        Am7   Cmaj7 Bm7
  It won't be burning for long, ooh
[Bridge]
Cmaj7            D6
  Feels like I'm lost inside this train of thought

Bm7                Em                D6
  Reaching for the stars I'm like an astronaut

Cmaj7       D6                       Bm7     E7 D6
  Trying to show the world just what I've got

        Cmaj7         D6
So I'll show you real slow

               Bm7                         Em          D6
‘Cause I think everyone would benefit from knowing it, so

Cmaj7 D6            Bm7  Em
        listen real close
[Chorus 3]
Am7        C

  Ease up let your mind rest

                Bm7                E7
Think about the time missed from a life of always worrying

Am7   C                             Bm7
  And though I know my flame may be burning still

  E7                           Am7   Cmaj7 Bm7
I know it won’t be burning for long, ooh

E7                        Am7   Cmaj7 Bm7 E7
  It won't be burning for long, ooh
[Chorus 4]
Am7        C
