Chorus:
Cm                    Fm
We are flames in the forest fire
         A#
Dancing from within
         G
That's where we begin

And like always

Leave a silver lining scar

The stores in town
Are closing down
And everything's in ruin
Borderline
Just turn around
Out of every ditch, a path

Uh  Uh  Uh Watch it flare up
Uh  Uh  Uh Time to reign it in
So let's begin

Chorus

Uh  Uh  Uh Now we flare up
Uh  Uh  Uh Now we can begin

Chorus

Leave a silver lining scar
