     C
I'm tired
    Em              D
Of tending to this fire
     Bm                   C
I've used up all I've collected
Em                D    Bm
I have singed my hands
       C
It's glowing
Em              D
Embers barely showing
Bm                     C
Proof of life in the shadows
Em              D  Bm
Dancing on my plans

Chorus:
                    C     Em
They know that it's almost
                    D        Bm
They know that it's almost over
                    C     Em
They know that it's almost
                    D        Bm
They know that it's almost over

The burning is so low it's concerning
'Cause they know that when it goes out
It's a glorious gone
It's only time before they show me
Why no one ever comes back
With details from beyond

Chorus

        C Em
They know
                    D        Bm
They know that it's almost over
         C Em
They know
                    D        Bm
They know that it's almost over
        C Em
They know
         D Bm
They know
         C Em D Bm
They know

    C    Em                D  Bm
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive
In time, I will leave the city
For now, I will stay alive

Chorus

        C  Em D Bm
They know
        C  Em D Bm
They know

Last year I needed change of pace
Couldn't take the pace of change
Moving hastily
But this year, though I'm far from home
In Trench I'm not alone
These faces facin' me

       C  Em D Bm
They know
       C  Em D Bm
They know
           G
What I mean
