A       G
I have spent a lifetime
 A       D
Waiting for the chance
    A        G
To save you my confession
 A       D
Save the one last dance

The same old superstition
Haunt us now and then
I'm begging for ignition
To start it all again

Chorus:
       G
We'll burn away
 F#m        Em            D
Burn away, burn away my pride
       G
We'll burn away
 F#m        Em            D
Burn away, burn away my pride
       G             F#m             Em                D
We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight
       G
We'll burn away
 F#m        Em            D
Burn away, burn away my pride

  G      A       D      G
Breathe for me from now on
  G      A       D       G
Breathe for me when I'm gone
      A     B
Burn out beyond
C               G
Out beyond the sun

Will you still remember
There behind the skies
Walking on the embers
Standing in their light
The hardest part is knowing
Everything must die
The hardest part is waiting here
Waiting to collide

Chorus

Breathe for me from now on
Breathe for me when I'm gone
Burn out beyond
Out beyond the sun

Bm   A        G
Burn on, burn on. Calling to you
Bm   A        G
Burn on, burn on. Calling to you
Bm   A    G
Burn on, burn on

A     G
I'll never burn again
 A     D
Never burn again
 A     G
Never burn again
 A     D
Never burn again
A     G
I'll never burn again
 A     D
Never burn again
 A     G
Never burn again
 A     D        A G  A D
Never burn again
