Fm                         Cm
I'm the rush of a bleeding heart
                             A#
I'm the bruise of a rough start
Fm                             Cm
I'm the dust that ignites the spark
G#              A#
Oh, man, I was dark

They say that I'm blue like the night sky
That I'm too weird to live, too rare to die
I tried to blow my mind a million times
But I got a light

F                  Cm
And it's burnin' still
                  D#
And it's burnin' still
F                   Cm
Yeah, it's burnin' still
G#          A#
And it's burnin'

          Fm Cm
I am the light
I am the light
The light, the light, the light, the light

Chorus:
Fm        Cm
I am the fire
And you are the rain
           D#
Washin' me out
              Fm
You drown my flame
         Cm
I am the fire
                G#
And you are the rain
           A#
Washin' me out
I am the fire
And you are the rain
Washin' me out
You drown my flame
I am the fire
And you are the rain
Washin' me out

I'm a prisoner on the run
(I'm a prisoner on the run)
I am the moon that reflects the sun
(I am the moon that reflects the sun)
I am unbeaten and I am unwon
(I am unbeaten and I am unwon)
Oh, man, I was alone

They say that I'm new, that I'm evergreen
That I will rage against the machine
I am never something in between
But I got a light

And it's burnin' still
And it's burnin' still
Yeah, it's burnin' still
And it's burnin'
I am the light
I am the light
The light, the light, the light, the light.

Chorus

I am the fire
I am the light
The light, the light, the light,
the light, the light
