Am                          F
When your life is finished burning down,
C                         G
you'll be all that's left standing there,
F                     C
you'll become a baby cumulus,
    G
and fly up to the firmament
Am                           F
And no one gets to know the purpose,
            C                    G
we need to learn to live without knowing,
    F          C
but all we are saying,
        G
is step forward, step forward


[Break] 

Am  F  C  G  F  C  G


[Verse 1]

Am                F             C              G
We can only see a small part of everything and nothing,
          F               C
when you finally know you can't know,
      G
step forward, step forward,
Am                           F
And if you don't believe in miracles,
C                           G
it comes with every single heartbeat,
F             C
another opportunity,
G
step forward, step forward

Am  F  C  G  F  C  G (x3)


[Verse 2]

Am                     F
And everybody here is trying so hard
   C                    G
to make things a little better,
F                       C
I never got a chance to thank you,
     G
step forward, step forward,
Am                     F
And everybody here is trying so hard
    C                   G
to make things a little better,
F           C             G
all we are saying is step forward, step forward

Am  F  C  G  F  C  G (x4)


[Chorus]

Am                          F
When your life is finished burning down
C                          G
you'll be all that's left standing there
F                     C
you'll become a baby cumulus
    G
and fly up to the firmament
