[Verse 1]
          D#m
When you wake up in the fire
                C#/F     F#
And your harbor lies in ruins
    G#m            D#m
You wonder why the giant has been shot
C#sus4                   C#
Fired off down from the sky

[Verse 2]
    D#m
You plead for explanation
          C#/F    F#
Is it accident or rule
    G#m                     D#m
And where is your childhood hero
                 C#sus4  C#
To drive all the demons away

[Pre-Chorus]
F#          A#m
What if the light
          D#m
Shines in darkness my friend
    B             C#           F#
And darkness just can't comprehend
             A#m           B
So blaze the trail on your own
        C#
Go it alone

[Chorus]
F#m    D         A          E
We are falling - falling to rise
F#m          E                Bm7
Pain is the guide out of the wastelands
   D            E
We don't need a hero
F#m    D         A          E
We are falling - falling to rise
F#m       E                Bm7
No charlatan to show you the light
   D            E
We don't need a hero

[Verse 3]
  D#m
Indignity is the leader
             C#/F   F#
To escort us to the fen
     G#m                     D#m
Where they say the light is endemic
          C#sus4       C#
If only I could comprehend

[Verse 4]
           D#m
Now you're old enough to face it
          C#/F     F#
Rabble's stones give pain
G#m                         D#m
Hit you as they watch your tracks
               C#sus4              C#
Apart from the way that they understand


[Pre-Chorus]
F#          A#m
What if the light
          D#m
Shines in darkness my friend
    B             C#           F#
And darkness just can't comprehend
             A#m           B
So blaze the trail on your own
        C#
Go it alone

[Chorus]
F#m    D         A          E
