Gm            Dm/F    D#
The wolf sits at my door
        Cm           Gm
Can't escape him anymore
              Dm/F     D#
He knows I've lost the war
          Cm            Gm
And he's takin' me for good
             Dm/F D#
I tell those I adore
         Cm             Gm
And the dishes hit the floor
                Dm/F    D#
The snow drifts on the porch
          Cm                A#6
I bite my lip and brave the storm

Chorus:
A#6                                 F
A fire that burns out for the last time
D#                            Dm F7/C
A satellite fallin' from the sky

Pictures on the wall
Another face I can't recall
Patches in my thoughts
Like my jacket down the hall
So wear this when I'm gone
I won't be here to keep you warm
We've said goodbye before
And now it's time, but I want more

Chorus:
A fire that burns up for the last time
A satellite fallin' from the sky
A northern light shines on the horizon
With courage and grace you said goodbye

                           Gm/A# Cm D#maj7
So let me whisper you a reminder
                             Gm Dm7/A Dm/F
Before they come to take me away
                                    Gm/A# Cm D#maj7
Whenever there's no hope left to inspire
                                        Dm F
Keep shinin' the light they all need to see

Chorus:
A fire that burns up for the last time
A satellite fallin' from the sky
I know the light shines on the horizon
With courage and grace you said goodbye
A fire that burns up for the last time
With courage and grace you waved goodbye
Oh, goodbye
