Intro: Am

Verse 1:
Am
Oh, bring me some more water,
G
after that another glass of wine
Am
No pretext for investments,
                           G
borrowed eyes, borrowed world borrowed time
Am
Feeling jumpy like a salesman,
                              G
waking up to trusty coffee I.V.
Am
Crammed in like so much cattle,
                              G
so little time so very much to see

Chorus:
F            C
Let it revive me,
G                    F
Carry on carrying the fire
F             C
Let it revive me,
Am              F           G
Finding peace for a little while

Verse 2:
Am
The twilight of our youthful gaze.

Books and bridges burned
             G
and records smashed
Am
I’m fat a drunk and dumb and lazy,
                                   G
digging deep way past the petty cash
Am
But there’s not too many nights like these,
G                                  Am
when you know you have it way too good
Am
Naked bodies, twelve foot ceilings,
G
laughing way more than I knew we could

Chorus:
F            C
Oh, let it revive me,
G                    F
Carry on carrying the fire
F             C
Let it revive me,
Am              F           G
Finding peace for a little while
F            C
Oh, let it revive me,
G                    F
Carry on carrying the fire
F             C
Let it revive me,
Am              F           G
Finding peace for a little while

For a little while.
