When Craig plays this, he's in Drop D, but it works just as well to stay in
standard tuning.
[Chorus]
Am F
When your life is finished burning down,
C G
you'll be all that's left standing there,
F C
you'll become a baby cumulus,
G
and fly up to the firmament
Am F
And no one gets to know the purpose,
C G
we need to learn to live without knowing,
F C
but all we are saying,
G
is step forward, step forward
[Break]
Am F C G F C G
[Verse 1]
Am F C G
We can only see a small part of everything and nothing,
F C
when you finally know you can't know,
G
step forward, step forward,
Am F
And if you don't believe in miracles,
C G
it comes with every single heartbeat,
F C
another opportunity,
G
step forward, step forward
[Break]
Am F C G F C G (x3)
[Verse 2]
Am F
And everybody here is trying so hard
C G
to make things a little better,
F C
I never got a chance to thank you,
G
step forward, step forward,
Am F
And everybody here is trying so hard
C G
to make things a little better,
F C G
all we are saying is step forward, step forward
[Break]
Am F C G F C G (x4)
[Chorus]
Am F
When your life is finished burning down
C G
you'll be all that's left standing there
F C
you'll become a baby cumulus
G
and fly up to the firmament
