I _ _ _ have watched by the fire [F#] and remembered my days.
[E] Yet it may be a trick of the firelight.
[B] But the [D#m] flickering pages that trouble my sight.
[Bm] Is a book I'm [D]
afraid to write.
_ [F#m] It's the book of my days, it's the [F#] book of my life.
[E] Yet it's cut like a frog on the blade of [A] a knife.
[D#] And it's soft yet to see [B] as the section reveals.
[G] There's no sorrow in [D] every _ life.
[A] If it reads like a puzzle [Bm] or wandering gaze.
Then [F#] I won't [F#m] understand [D#] till the end of my days.
I'm [D] still forced to remember, [Bm] remember the words in [F#] my life. _

And [E] the battles you lost when you're in a defeat.
[D#] There's a page where you fail to [F] meet. _
There [A#] are tears that good fortune [Cm] that couldn't be bled.
