Cm       G#                D#  Fm
Did you lose what won't return?
Cm       G#             D#   Fm
Did you love but never learn?
Cm          G#              D#
The fire's out but still it burns
    Fm      G#
And no one cares
                A#
There's no one there

Did you find it hard to breathe?
Did you cry so much that you could barely see?
In the darkness all alone
And no one cares,
there's no one there

Chorus:
                     Cm            G#
But did you see the flares in the sky?
          D#             Fm
Were you blinded by the light?
                  Cm            G#
Did you feel the smoke in your eyes?
       D#         Fm
Did you? Did you?
                  Cm                G#
Did you see the sparks filled with hope?
     D#           Fm
And you are not alone
                  Cm      G#
'Cause someone's out there
         D#   Fm
Sending out flares

Did you break but never mend?
Did it hurt so much you thought it was the end?
Lose your heart but don't know when
And no one cares,
there's no one there

Chorus

Someone's out there
Sending out flares

Cm       G#                D#   Fm
Did you lose what won't return?
Cm       G#              D#  Fm
Did you love but never learn?
