(I want to burn out bright)
D a
Does it have to start with a broken heart / Broken dreams and bleeding parts
Em Bm
We were young and the world was clear / But young ambition disappears
G D
I swore it would never come to this / The average, the obvious
Em G
I'm still discontented down here / 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
Bm G (Intro)
Then before I die, I want to burn out bright
(None)/F#~ a
A spark ignites in time and space / Limping through this human race
Em Bm
You bite and claw your way back home / But you're running the wrong way
G D
The future is a question mark / Of kerosene and electric sparks
Em G
There's still fire in you yet / Yeah there's still fire in you!
(Chorus)
