D
Does it have to start with a broken heart
A
Broken dreams and bleeding parts
Em
We were young and the world was clear
Bm
Young ambition disappears
Em
I swore it would never come to this
D
The average, the obvious
Em
How I'm still discontented down here
A
I'm still discontented
D A
If we've only got one try
Em Bm
If we've only got one life
D A
If time was never on our side
Em Bm D A
Then before I die I want to burn out bright
D
So a spark ignites in time and space
A
Limping through this human race
Em
You bite and claw your way back home
Bm
But you’re running the wrong way
Em
The future is a question mark
D
Of kerosene and electric sparks
Em
There’s still fire in you yet
A
Yeah there’s still fire in you
D A
If we've only got one try
Em Bm
If we've only got one life
D A
If time was never on our side
Em Bm D
Then before I die I want to burn out bright
A
Bright
Em Bm
I keep cleaning up the mess I’ve made
Em Bm
I keep cleaning up the mess I've made
A
I won't run away
Em Bm
I can’t sleep in the bed I’ve made
Em Bm A
I can't sleep in the bed I've made
D A
If we've only got one try
(We've only got one try)
Em Bm
If we've only got one life
(We've only got one life)
D A
If time was never on our side
(Time was never on our side)
Em Bm D
Then before I die I want to burn out bright
