Em          Bm                C
Twenty-five years or so, it's all I've ever known
Em               Bm           C
Pictures on the wall in the place that I call home
     Em           Bm                  C
We blew it up and burned it down and now we stand alone
Em                Bm            C
Flames so high in ashes down below
Em                Bm            C
Flames so high in ashes down below

Chorus:
G                 Bm            C
All my hopes and memories are blowing in the wind
    G               Bm              C
I started off with nothing and I'm back here once again
     Em               Bm
The little things in life are free
     C
The simple things, like you and me
      D          Am
Like love, like love
D Am
Oh

It's okay to start again cause change is gonna come
Nothing ever stays the same,
it's not like we're still young
Let's blow it up and burn it down so we can stand alone
No fear of change, no fear of the unknown

Chorus:
All my hopes and memories are blowing in the wind
I started off with nothing and
I'm back here once again
The little things in life are free
The simple things like you and me
And like love, like love
Like love, like love

The sky above, the earth below
Fire within me, let it glow
The sky above, the earth below
Fire within me, let it glow
The sky above, the earth below
Fire within me, let it glow
The sky above, the earth below
Fire within me, let it glow
