Introduction: C    Em    Am7    G    

             C                              Em             Am7          G  
When you try your best but you don' t succeed,
             C                              Em             Am7          G  
When you get what you want, but not what you need,
             C                         Em                  Am7          G  
When you feel so tired, but you can' t sleep,
              C     Em     Am7     G  
Stuck in reverse.

             C                         Em                Am7            G  
And the tears come streaming down your face,

Could it be worse?

And ignite your bones,
F         C     G  
And I will try to fix you,

  C                      Em          Am7            G  
High up above or down below,
                 C                    Em          Am7          G  
When you' re too in love to let it go,
                 C                    Em            Am7         G  
But if you never try you' ll never know,
                        C      Em     Am7     G          F  
Just what you' re worth.

F          C      G                F  
Lights will guide you home,
F     C    G                 F  
And ignite your bones,
F         C     G  
And I will try to fix you.
