* = Strum once [Intro] C* F* x2 [Verse]
           C              F          Am              G 
There were days when each hour was a war I fought to survive

           C              F                G                  F
There were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyes

           Am               F           C                    G
There were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me alive

        Am                        F                         G               F
But the world took a spark like a match in the dark and the fire brought me to life
[Pre-Chorus]
       C                           F                      Am                  C    G
So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'cause there's no other way we can stay alive
[Chorus]
             C       G            Am    F
'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite

              C                       G                     Am                 F
And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the fire die

          C         G         Am         F
And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light

               C                   G                Am                 F
And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die
[Verse]
           C                 F                 Am                   G
And you'll find, there'll be mornings when the ashes and embers are cold

           C            F                  G                     F
But you'll fight with a passion and you'll never stop 'cause you know

         Am           F               C                   G
Yeah you know it gets better and your story is yet to be told

      Am                       F                          G                      F
Every push, every shove, every war, every love, yeah, the coals are beginning to glow
[Pre-Chorus]
       C                           F                      Am                  C    G
So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'cause there's no other way we can stay alive
[Chorus]
             C       G            Am    F
'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite

              C                       G                     Am                 F
And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the fire die

          C         G         Am         F
And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light

               C                   G                Am                 F
And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die
[Breakdown]
F G                  F  G
  Don't let the fire die

        F
It gets better

     G                  F    G
Just don't let the fire die, no...
[Interlude] C F x2 [Chorus]
             C       G            Am    F
'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite

              C                       G                     Am                 F
And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the fire die

          C         G         Am         F
And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light

               C                   G                Am                 F
And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die
[Outro]
               C*                  G*               Am*                F*
And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die

 C*     G*     Am*                 F*
               Don't let the fire die...
