G F C x2
[Verse 1]
G Em My faith ran out with the flames one night A7 C Shrinking in the embers of the firelight Cm G You were rambling about your friends C D How you were never going to see them again G Bm There wasn′t any fire and brimstone left A7 C Just a hollow rattle inside your chest Cm G Deep in the dark of our 45th day C D It wasn't ever going to go away
[Chorus]
Em D C I began to understand the things the heat requires C D G F C Looking at you through this fire
G F C
[Verse 2]
G Em The last days come and the last days go A7 C Carried away in the undertow Cm G But on our trust we rise and fall C D Human after all G Bm I calculated one week to go, maybe less A7 C You were slipping in and out of consciousness Cm G What are seven days worth? C D Seven days on this earth
[Chorus]
Em D C More than kings in their castles might desire C D Em Looking at you through this fire
[Bridge]
B Through this fire where we were witnesses when Em You were reborn C G A D One of the seven at Jericho, sounding his horn

G Em Bear me on the breath of dawn A7 C Very soon we′ll both be gone Cm G It's getting harder to hear you, friend C D Waiting for the world to end G Bm But let me isolate the relevant voice in the choir A7 C Somewhere out there on the wire Cm G I'll run all night, but my legs won′t tire A7 C The ocean is faithful and the devil′s a liar
[Chorus]
