Verse:
A F#m E A Aadd9
the flame's getting higher,fighting fire with fire
F#m E Aadd9
My knuckles are burned,I'm getting tired
F#m E A Aadd9
Born with a fist ready to hit
F#m E A
I don't sleep much living like this
Chorus:
F#m E A D/A
He's asking me to be myself and love well too
F#m E A Aadd9
It's like asking the flowers in winter to bloom
F#m E A D/A
And before my final breath is drawn from earth
F#m E A
Oh, I pray I'm not too old to learn
Verse:
F#m E A Aadd9
Where anger's taught,softness is not
F#m E A
And I'm jagged like glass from the lessons I got
F#m E A
But I want soft hands, I want sweet words
F#m E A
And I pray I'm not too old to learn
Chorus:
F#m E A D/A
He's asking me to be myself and love well too
F#m E A Aadd9
It's like asking the flowers in winter to bloom
F#m E A D/A
And before my final breath is drawn from earth
F#m E A
Oh, I pray I'm not too old to learn
