G F Dm Dm


G     D         G    Bm
why should the fire die,
   Gm       Bm       G       D
my mom and dad kept theirs alive,
     G    D        G          Bm      
its early yet don't say goodnight,
   Gm          Bm          G     D
i know you're tired you'll be alright,


Bridge (same as intro)


   G             D     G          Bm
you're shining still behind the clouds,
Gm     Bm       G         D
saying i won't figure you out,
    G        D      G        Bm
it might be true but let me say,
     Gm      Bm          G          D
and try and try for the rest of my life,
G                 F               Dm
i'm not scared of being alone (being alone)  x2
Bm
i'm just 
G    D   G        Bm
happier being confused,
  Gm        Bm       G               D
beside the fire as long as it's with you,
G      D         G    Bm
why should that fire die,
    Gm      Bm        G       D
my mom and dad kept theirs alive,
       G       D     G           Bm
it's getting late she says goodnight,
      Gm      Bm       G    N/C
and falls asleep i'll be alright
