Chords

[Intro] (Soft, melancholic piano) Fmaj7 | C/E | Dm | G [Verse 1]
Fmaj7                                 C/E
I’ve watched the world through tired eyes

Dm                                Bb
A painted stage where heroes die

Fmaj7                                 C/E
A fleeting dream, a fading age

Dm                               Bb
I wonder if we’ll turn the page
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                                F
But here we stand, on broken ground

Gm                              Dm
Hearts like embers burning out

Bb                                 F
We hold on tight, we lose the fight

Gm                                    G
And now the light slips out of sight
[Chorus]
F                                  C/E
The world’s ablaze, a sky on fire

Dm                               Bb
We reach for hope, but lose desire

F                                 C/E
A futile fight, we never learn

Dm                               Bb
As ashes fall, we watch them burn
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                                C/E
I built a home from fragile stones

Dm                                Bb
Tried to feel safe, but I’m alone

Fmaj7                                C/E
The gardens bloom, then wilt away

Dm                                Bb
I hold my breath, can we be saved?
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb                                 F
The shadows grow, they creep too fast

Gm                                 Dm
We hold on tight, but nothing lasts

Bb                                 F
We close our eyes, the end draws near

Gm                                 G
But all we feel is burning fear
[Chorus]
F                                  C/E
The world’s ablaze, a sky on fire

Dm                               Bb
We reach for hope, but lose desire

F                                 C/E
A futile fight, we never learn

Dm                               Bb
As ashes fall, we watch them burn
[Bridge] (Key Change to G major)
C                                  G
But maybe love will find its way

Em                                C
Through all the wreckage and decay

C                                  G
I close my eyes and dream of light

Em                                C
But it’s so far, so far tonight
[Chorus]
G                                  D/F#
The world’s ablaze, a sky on fire

Em                               C
But in the dark, we still aspire

G                                 D/F#
A love so strong, it starts to rise

Em                              C
Through all the ash, beneath the sky
[Outro] (Piano fades to a single note, echoing strings swelling)
