Bm G A Em x2

[Verse 1]
Bm                   G
 Broken souls on the city streets
A                     Em
 Fall apart while the city sleeps
Bm                  G
 Fading hearts of a generation
Bm
 Tired eyes of a desperate nation
G
 Blank stares and empty grins
A                Em
 When did we let darkness in?
G                          A
 It's time to light it up again


[Chorus]
        Bm      G        A         Em
Let the fire inside of me, take me over
Bm           G                  D            A
Brighter for all to see, as the world grows colder
Bm      G         A             Em
Find me on my knees and take me higher
G
 Out of the wasted lives
D        A
 I will, I will, rise

[Verse 2]
Bm                    G
 When light shines on hopeless men
D                        Em
 We find the strength to hope again
Bm               G
Every time that freedom finds us
A                Em
Broken bones and scars remind us
Bm               G
Seething with bloodshot eyes
A              Em
Breathing just to survive
G                              A
 It's time to bring us back to life


[Chorus]
        Bm      G        A         Em
Let the fire inside of me, take me over
Bm           G                  D            A
Brighter for all to see, as the world grows colder
Bm      G         A             Em
Find me on my knees and take me higher
G
 Out of the wasted lives
D        A
 I will, I will, rise

Em                           G
 Build me up and burn me down, take me over

 You're everything that I need now
        Bm               Bm
Let the fire inside of me, take me over
Bm                              D            A
Brighter for all to see, as the world grows colder
