G#m                                       B  C#
Take a look around you, yeah, the sky is falling
G#m                                              B
Sinners say your prayers this train is off the tracks
G#m                                 B  C#
Nothing is forever when tomorrow's calling
G#m                                     B
Dancing with the devil take it one day back

G#m                         B C#
I'm not afraid of burning bridges
G#m                                   B
'cause I know they're gonna light my way
G#m                      B C#
Like a phoenix, from the ashes
G#m
Welcome to the future, it's a new day

Chorus:
         G#m E       B          F#
We don't run   I'm standing my ground
         G#m E      B             F#
We don't run   and we don't back down
        G#m                        E
There's fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain
  B                      F#
Bless each tear and this dirt I was born in
         G#m E  B        F#
We don't run   We don't run
         G#m E B F#
We don't run

Take me to the banks of your muddy water
Where the flesh and blood and the spirit meet
Only takes your touch for me to find salvation
You're the only reason that I still believe

I'm not afraid of burning bridges
‘Cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a phoenix, from the ashes
Welcome to the future, it's a new day

Chorus - x2

         G#m E B F#
We don't run
         G#m E B F#
We don't run
