Dm           Bb         
  How did we get here?  
      F                    C      
We're castaway on a lonely shore  
Dm                  Bb          
  I can see in your eyes, dear  
              F                  C   
It's hard to take for a moment more  
   
   
We've got to  
   
Pre-Chorus
Dm                        Bb                          F     
 Burn the ships, cut the ties, send a flare into the night  
                         Am                             Bb    
Say a prayer, turn the tide, dry your tears and wave goodbye  
   
   
Chorus
             F     Gm Bb 
Step into a new day    
                          F       Gm      Bb 
We can rise up from the dust and walk away  
                       C    Dm    Bb   
We can dance upon the heartache, yeah  
             C               Dm              Gm   
So light a match, leave the past, burn the ships  
   
And don't you look back

Verse
Dm                Bb       
  Don't let it arrest you  
      F                 C             
This fear this fear of fallin' again  
Dm                   Bb     
  And if you need a refuge  
                  F             Am  
I will be right here until the end

Say a prayer, turn the tide, dry your tears and wave goodbye

So long to shame

Out of the fire

 Intotomorrow  
Dm                  
So flush the pills  
           Bb  
Face the fear  
                        F  
Feel the weight disappear  
   
We're comin' clean  
             Am   
We're born again  
   
Our hopeful lungs can breathe again  
                     Bb   
Oh, we can breathe again
