E [ascend] A
Out of the darkness
B
and into the fire
E [ascend] A
I'll tell you I love you
B
and my heart's in the strangest place
E [ascend] A
that's how it started
B

F#m E C#m B E
It's a point of pride
F#m E C#m B E
And it's louder than lightning
C#m E Abm
in this room of mine
Oh, I'm just like you
E [ascend] A
I never hear the bad news
B
And I'll never win
E [ascend] A
We won by a landslide
B
Our trouble are over

You took you're sweet time
[descend]
and I waited by without complaint

made me unseen

So it's all over
[descend]
It's all over anyhow
[descend]
You took your sweet time
[descend] E [ascend] A B
and finally I open my eyes
E [climb] A B
E [ascend] A
I've frozen my failures
B
Well asking of me
E [ascend] A
how long will you ramble?
B
And obvious I will be
E [ascend] A
slowly still falling
B
I'm over (?)
