"Ash And Ember"
Capo II
Chorus begins with
Fmaj9 x03213
Intro/Verse:
F C Am G
Am I seeing double, am I withdrawn
F C Am G
Depositing lyrics into a love song
F C Am G
Spider weaving webs for a catch that won't come
F C Am G
Am I pulling roses from a dead bush
F C Am G
A soldier running late for the ambush
F C Am G
Ready in the depth for a stone that's long gone
F-C-Am-G
Prechorus:
G
Is it too late?
F C Am G
It's never ending but nevertheless
(Is it too late)
F C Am G
I'm the first one to second my guess
F Am C G
And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember
Chorus:
Fmaj9 Am
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
G
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
Fmaj9 Am
Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way
G
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
Fmaj9 Am G
F C Am G
Am I reaching out for something that I can't grab
F C Am G
Something infinitely splitting into two halves
F C Am G
Is there something I forgot that I can't remember
F C Am G
Am I swimming in a river that was manmade
F C Am G
Demolishing a road that was just paved
F C Am G
It's like trying to catch a junebug in late December
G
Is it too late?
F C Am G
It's never ending but nevertheless
(Is it too late)
F C Am G
I'm the first one to second my guess
F Am C G
And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember
Chorus:
Fmaj9 Am
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
G
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
Fmaj9 Am
Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way
G
Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember
Ash and ember
F C Am G
Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung
F C Am G
Am I simply gonna finish where I started from
F C Am G
Is the future just the past that I'll never outrun
Fmaj9 Am
And every I step I take, got the devil to repay
G
I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender
Fmaj9 Am
Had to take it day by day, had to feel the heartbreak
G
Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember
Ash and ember
Ash and ember
Am I stealing something I could borrow
Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow
