Intro/Verse:
B F# D#m C#
D#m I seeing double, am I withdrawn
B F# D#m C#
Depositing lyrics into a love song
B F# D#m C#
Spider weaving webs for a catch that won't come
B F# D#m C#
D#m I pulling roses from a dead bush
B F# D#m C#
D# soldier running late for the ambush
B F# D#m C#
Ready in the depth for a stone that's long gone
F-C-Am-C#
Prechorus:
C#
Is it too late?
B F# D#m C#
It's never ending but nevertheless
(Is it too late)
B F# D#m C#
I'm the first one to second my guess
B D#m F# C#
And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember
Chorus:
Bmaj9 D#m
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
C#
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
Bmaj9 D#m
Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way
C#
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
Bmaj9 D#m C#
B F# D#m C#
D#m I reaching out for something that I can't grab
B F# D#m C#
Something infinitely splitting into two halves
B F# D#m C#
Is there something I forgot that I can't remember
B F# D#m C#
D#m I swimming in a river that was manmade
B F# D#m C#
Demolishing a road that was just paved
B F# D#m C#
It's like trying to catch a junebug in late December
C#
Is it too late?
B F# D#m C#
It's never ending but nevertheless
(Is it too late)
B F# D#m C#
I'm the first one to second my guess
B D#m F# C#
And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember
Chorus:
Bmaj9 D#m
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
C#
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
Bmaj9 D#m
Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way
C#
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
B F# D#m C#
Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung
B F# D#m C#
D#m I simply gonna finish where I started from
B F# D#m C#
Is the future just the past that I'll never outrun
Bmaj9 D#m
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
C#
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
Bmaj9 D#m
Had to take it day by day, had to feel the heartbreak
C#
Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember
Ash and ember
Ash and ember
D#m I stealing something I could borrow
Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow
