Intro B A B A Verse 1 D Does it have to start with a broken heart C# Broken dreams and bleeding parts B We were young and world was clear G Young ambition disappears B I swore it would never come to this A The average, the obvious B I'm still discontented down here G I'm so discontented Chorus D C# If we only got one try B G If we've only got one life D C# If time was never on our side B G B A B A Before I die I want to burn out bright Verse 2 D So a spark ignites C# In time and space To make it through this human race B You fight and crawl your way back home G But you're running the wrong way D The future is a question mark C# With kerosene electric sparks B There's still fire in you yet G Yeah there's still fire in you Chorus Bridge B I can't clean up the mess I've made G I can't clean up the mess I've made B Can't sleep in the bed I've made G E Can't sleep in the bed I've made Chorus
