To be the last to leave,
[A#m] the last to be gone, [C#] falling from the [C#] walls, to [G#] hang on to it,
to [F#] be the last in a line.
For the [A#m] ones that live on, [C#] silhouette of a dream, [G#m] treasured by the ones who [F#] belong to them,
[A#]
[C#]
[C#] [G#m]
[F#] all move separate now.
Of [A#m] our love affair, [C#] the billet of cuts quick, [G#m] running whip through the air.
It's [D#m] this winter, when we [C#] survive the flood, [G#m] no one of us runs from [F#] the fireflies.
[D#m] I was a beauty, [C#] how can you be what you say?
[D#m] In the drama we're in, we're [C#] holding it all in our way.
No [G#m] one ever leaves, [C#] everyone stays close to the [F#] fire and pain.

[D#m] In the drama of the moment, [C#] there is no easy way.
No [G#m] one ever leaves, [C#] everyone stays close to the fire [F#] and pain.
The last to leave.
[A#m] What caused the fearsome, [C#] did the hopeless in the night.
[G#m] There was no competition, but if you [F#] survive you would right.
[A#m] Oh you believe in the fire, [C#] to survive the distance.
[D#m] Everyone,
[C#] everyone fights and the [F#] fire dies.

You [F#] are the rest of my feelings, we are [A#] dreamers in the [A#m]
night.
[C#] So I call it my nightmare, [G#m] my fright.
[F#] Cause I get sad and chill, when no [A#m] one else runs.
[C#] Oh, the
[G#m] love,
[F#]
of [A#m] our love affair.
