I watched the flames slow and strange

Make the walls fill my eyes?

I heard your voice through the noise?
Cadd9 G
I was cold and it was warm inside?
D
And I should have kept my hands
Em
I should have kept my arms inside
Cadd9 G
?I believe it now
D
I should have kept my head
?Em
I should have kept my heart,
my heart

And when morning came, it felt like truth?

And I should have kept my hands

I should have kept my arms inside

I believe it now

I should have kept my head

I should have kept my heart,
my heart
