The Flame Is Gone

Dm Gm E Bb

[Verse 1]
Dm
I see you trembling like the Earth is falling from your feet
                                  Gm
Like you've never felt the ground before
E
An indication you're over your head again
                                      Bb    E
That you don’t know how to settle the score

Dm
I would be lying if I told you that I didn't know
                              Gm
The way that you could fix it all
E
If you're stacking your problems like a pile of bricks
                            Bb    E
You've gotta knock down the wall

[Pre-Chorus 1]
       Fm     G#m     Am   Bb        C#m   Dm      Eb      F
Before someone, like you, breaks you and puts you in the ground

[Refrain]
       Bb                                          E
Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the winter falls?
Gm                                  Dm
Could we really hide if the reaper calls?
          Gm                                 Dm
And so it goes, the lamb will be lead to the loam
              E     Bb
And you will return

[Verse 2]
Dm
I see a hesitating grimace held above your chin
                                 Gm
Like you haven't thought of this before
E
And though the sentiment keeps you from letting go
                     Bb    E
You know it's irresistible
   Gm   A      Bb  C Dm   E    F     G F     Am
To hear those voices hush, you must be cold
   Gm   A      Bb  C   Am      C          Dm
In times when piece of mind is bought and sold

[Pre-Chorus 2]
       Fm     G#m     Am     Bb        C#m   Dm      Eb      F
Cause someone, like you, would break you and put you in the ground

[Refrain]
       Bb                                          E
Do the heavens ever spare the crop when the winter falls?
Gm                                  Dm
Could we really hide if the reaper calls?
          Gm                                 Dm
And so it goes, the lamb will be lead to the loam
              E     Bb
And you will return

[Outro]
Dm   Em F   C C/A Bb  C Dm

Dm                      Em  Em   F F
  Don’t you want to see him fall apart
                C   C C/A  Bb             C
So you can pick the pieces up and put him back together?
Dm                    Em   Em F   F
  Finally building up the perfect pawn
            C C    C/A     Bb
Another shadow lost in the dark,
            C C    C/A     Bb (hold until end)
Another shadow lost in the dark.
