verse 1 
G        G                         G                    D 
I live a life that's surreal where all that I feel I am learning. 
   G               G                   G 
My life is like an ever-spinning wheel fueled by a flame that's still 
D 
Burning. 
       Em               D        G 
And in time, it's all a sweet mystery 
         C         G           D 
When you shake the tree of temptation 
          Em            D            G 
Yeah, and I_I know the fear and the cost 
     C        G           D 
Of a paradise lost in frustration 
 
        G           D          Am                   G      D 
And the flame still burns It's there in my soul, forever I know 
        G           D             Am 
And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then 
   G          D          C     C 
It lights up again in my life 

verse 2 
    G           C              G 
Oh, I_I want my thoughts to be heard 
    C        G           D 
The unspoken words of my wisdom 
  G           C               G 
Today, as the light starts to flow 
C            G              D 
Tomorrow who knows who will listen 
       Em          D           G 
But my life has no language of love 
   C           G          D 
No words from above are appearing 
       Em                      D           G 
But in time, in time there's a fire that's stoked 
       C          G          D 
With a reason for hope and believing 

        G           D          Am                   G      D 
And the flame still burns It's there in my soul, forever I know 
        G           D             Am 
And the flame still burns From a glimmer back then 
   G          D          C     C 
It lights up again in my life 

Bridge

It lights up again in my life

In my life, yeah
