A minorAm
I
A minorAm
Am a wavering candle light
FF
I remain but I’m ever slight
G+G
Through all my years
A minorAm
I sit
FF
In my room in the fading light
A minorAm
Righting back all my wrongs tonight
G+G
Cos I’m still here
_
G+G A minorAm
Boarded up all the doors
FF
And I swallowed all the keys
A minorAm
I’m still haunted by
FF G+G
All the things I’ll never be
_
A minorAm
To live
FF
Is to learn
C majorC G+G
Oh the heart’s a heavy burden
A minorAm
So I take
FF
I don’t wait
C majorC G+G
Nothing ever is for certain
A minorAm
And I hold my hands up high
FF C majorC
On my knees tonight
A minorAm
I’ll take
FF
Won’t wait
C majorC G+G A minorAm
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
_
A minorAm
I
A minorAm
Never knew it could be so cold
FF G+G
But I burnt all the things I used to hold so dear
A minorAm
Still I fight
A minorAm
With my pen in my hand held tight
FF C majorC G+G
Writing protest songs tonight cos I’m still here
_
G+G A minorAm
Boarded up all the doors
FF
And I swallowed all the keys
A minorAm
I’m still haunted by
FF G+G
All the things I’ll never be
_
A minorAm
To live
FF
Is to learn
C majorC G+G
Oh the heart’s a heavy burden
A minorAm
So I take
FF
I don’t wait
C majorC G+G
Nothing ever is for certain
A minorAm
And I hold my hands up high
FF C majorC
On my knees tonight
A minorAm
I’ll take
FF
Won’t wait
C majorC G+G A minorAm
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
C majorC G+G A minorAm
