Verse 1:
     G                        C
I’m afraid of the space where you suffer
          G                        C
Where you sit in the smoke and the burn
         G                      C
I can’t handle the choke or the danger
           G                  C
Of my own foolish, inadequate words
                 Am
I’ll be right outside if you need me
        C
Right outside

Chorus:
           G             Em
What can I bring to your fire?
        C                             D
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
      G                               Em
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
        C                                     D
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
                  G   C
Can I come close now?

Verse 2:
      G                       C
So we left you to fight your own battle
        G                         C
And you buried your hope with your faith
           G                   C
’Cause you heard no song of deliverance
             G                 C
There on the nights that followed the wake
         Am
We never thought to go with you
  C
Afraid to ask

Chorus:
           G             Em
What can I bring to your fire?
        C                             D
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
      G                               Em
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
        C                                     D
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
                  G
Can I come close now?

Bridge:
        Em
Lay down our plans
             C
Lay down the sure-fire fix
              Em
Grief’s gonna stay awhile
            C
There is no cure for this
               G
We watch for return
                D
We speak what we’ve heard
         Am       D
We sit together, in the burn

G Em
Oh
C D
Oh

G Em
Oh
C D
Oh

Chorus:
           G             Em
What can I bring to your fire?
        C                             D
Shall I sing while the roof is coming down?
      G                               Em
Can I hold you while the flames grow higher
        C                                     D
Shall I brave the heat and come close with you now?
                  G
Can I come close now?
