Intro: G Am Em C
Verse:
G
I see your light
Am Em
I know it’s coming and I’m terrified
C G
No more defences here to hide behind
Am Em C
Oh, just you and I
G
And through the smoke
Am Em
I see you burning like a ray of hope
C G
I found the fire now the ashes glow
Am Em C
Oh, I come alive
Pre-Chorus
G
And now that I’m awake
Am
I’m not afraid
Em C
I’m letting go tonight
Chorus:
