_ _ _ _ _ If [Fm] I _ had [C] _ nothing to [Ab]
my name [Bb] but _ photographs [Ab] _
of you [Bbm] _ rescued from [Fm]
the _ [Db] flame
_ _ [Fm] That is all [Bb] I would [Ab] ever _ need [Bb] as long as I [Fm]
can read what's written on your _ _ _ _ _ face
_ [Ebm] _
The _ [C] _ strength that [Fm] _
shines behind your [Gb] eyes
_ [C] The hope and [Fm]
light that [C] will never _ _ _ die
_ [Fm] _ _ _ [Db] One _ promise [Ab] you _ _ [Eb] made
_ One [Fm] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ promise [Ab] that _ [Eb] always _ _ remains
[Fm] _ _ _ [Ab] One _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
promise to [Db] _ survive
_ [Bbm] _
_ [Bb] Persevere [Eb] and _ _ [Ab] fight _ [Eb] as you've _ _ always done _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ And [Fm] you said, [Db] the poison in [Ab] the kiss [E] is the [C] lie upon [Ab] the lips
[C] True words were [F] never _ _ [Db] shared
_ Well, [Fm] I feel [C] like lies are all [Ab] I hear
[E] I pull my _ [Fm] memories _ [Bb] near, the one thing [D] they can't _ _ [C] _
_ take

made

_ [Ab] One _ _ _ [D] _ _ promise [Ab] _
_ to [Db] _ survive _ _
_ [Bb] Persevere [Eb] and _ _ fight _ as you've _ _ always _ done
_ _ _ [E] _
_ Words still _ open [Ab] on the table
_ _ _ _ [B] _
The bells still ringing [E] in the _ _ _ _ air
[B] _
The dreams still clinging [G] to the fever
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
The [A] songs still singing [C] in the prayer _ _ _ _ [Fm]
I sold
[Bb] _ Stretching through [Ab] the _ roots [Bb] to memories _ [Eb]
of you
[Dbm] Back through time [Fm]
and _ [Db] space
To [Fm] carry _ on [Bb] the faces and [Ab] the _ names
[Bb] And photographs _ of you [C] _ rescued from the _ _ _ _ _ _ [Fm] flames
_ _ [Db] One _ promise [Ab] you _ _ [Eb] made
_ _ _ [Fm]

remains
_ [Ab] One _ _ _ [D] _
_ promise [Ab] _ _ to [Db] _
survive
_ [Bb] _ _ Persevere [Ab]
and fight, [E] _ dare to love [Fm] once _ more
[Ab] One promise to [Db] _
survive
_ _ _ Persevere [Dbm] and fight, _ feel the way [Ab]
we've _ _ [Eb] lied
_ As we've _ _ _ _ always [Eb] _
_ _ done
