Intro/Verse:
C# G# Fm D#
Fm I seeing double, am I withdrawn
C# G# Fm D#
Depositing lyrics into a love song
C# G# Fm D#
Spider weaving webs for a catch that won't come
C# G# Fm D#
Fm I pulling roses from a dead bush
C# G# Fm D#
F soldier running late for the ambush
C# G# Fm D#
Ready in the depth for a stone that's long gone
F-C-Am-D#
Prechorus:
D#
Is it too late?
C# G# Fm D#
It's never ending but nevertheless
(Is it too late)
C# G# Fm D#
I'm the first one to second my guess
C# Fm G# D#
And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember
Chorus:
C#maj9 Fm
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
D#
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
C#maj9 Fm
Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way
D#
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
C#maj9 Fm D#
C# G# Fm D#
Fm I reaching out for something that I can't grab
C# G# Fm D#
Something infinitely splitting into two halves
C# G# Fm D#
Is there something I forgot that I can't remember
C# G# Fm D#
Fm I swimming in a river that was manmade
C# G# Fm D#
Demolishing a road that was just paved
C# G# Fm D#
It's like trying to catch a junebug in late December
D#
Is it too late?
C# G# Fm D#
It's never ending but nevertheless
(Is it too late)
C# G# Fm D#
I'm the first one to second my guess
C# Fm G# D#
And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember
Chorus:
C#maj9 Fm
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
D#
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
C#maj9 Fm
Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way
D#
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
C# G# Fm D#
Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung
C# G# Fm D#
Fm I simply gonna finish where I started from
C# G# Fm D#
Is the future just the past that I'll never outrun
C#maj9 Fm
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
D#
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
C#maj9 Fm
Had to take it day by day, had to feel the heartbreak
D#
Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember
Ash and ember
Ash and ember
Fm I stealing something I could borrow
Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow
