Verse 1:
Dm      Bb
 How did we get here?
      F        C
We're cast away on a lonely shore
Dm         Bb
 I can see in your eyes, dear
       F         C
It's hard to take for a moment more

We've got to
Pre-Chorus:
Dm            Bb
 Burn the ships, cut the ties
           F
Send a flare into the night
            Am
Say a prayer, turn the tide
            Bb
Dry your tears and wave goodbye


Chorus:
      F    Gm Bb
Step into a new day
            F    Gm    Bb
We can rise up from the dust and walk away

We can dance upon the heartache, yeah
      C        Dm       Bb
So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships

And don't you look back

Verse 2:
Dm        Bb
 Don't let it arrest you
   F         C
This fear, this fear of fallin' again
Dm         Bb
 And if you need a refuge
        F       C
I will be right here until the end

Oh, it's time to


Pre-Chorus:
Dm            Bb
 Burn the ships, cut the ties
           F

So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships

And don't you look back


Bridge:
Dm
  So long to shame
Bb
  Walk through the sorrow
F
 Out of the fire
C
 Into tomorrow
Dm
 So flush the pills
      Bb
Face the fear
            F
Feel the weight disappear
                Am
We're comin' clean, we're born again

Our hopeful lungs can breathe again

Oh, we can breathe again

We can dance upon the heartache, yeah
