[E] It's coming from so far away, it's [C] hard to say for sure.

[D]
[G] [Em] There's a fire high in [Cm] the empty sky [G] where the sound [C] meets [G] [C] the shore.

[F#] fall away [F#m] leaving only the sound [Em] of the drum.
[G] Like a part of me, forget what [C] life used to be.
It's whatever [Cm] it is you see, [D] that life [G] will become.
[C#] [G] Whatever it is you [D] might think you have, you have nothing [Em] to [B] lose.
