Tom : C
Em C D
Things we lost to the flame
Em C Am D
Things we'll never see again
Em C D
All that we've amassed
Em C Am D
Sits before us, shattered into ash
[Trecho 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x 2x]
Em D
These are the things, the things we lost
Bm C
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Em D
We sat and made a list
Bm C
Of all the things that we have
Em D
Down the backs of table tops
Bm C
Ticket stubs and your diaries
Em D
I read them all one day
Bm C
When loneliness came and you were away
Em D
Oh they told me nothing new,
Bm C
But I love to read the words you used
Em D
These are the things, the things we lost
Bm C
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Em D
I was the match and you were the rock
Bm C
Maybe we started this fire
Em D
We sat apart and watched
Bm C
All we had burned on the pyre
Em D
(You said) we were born with nothing
Bm C
And we sure as hell have nothing now
Em D
These are the things, the things we lost
Bm C
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Am F
Do you understand that we will
C G
Never be the same again?
Am F
The futures in our hands and we will
C G
Never be the same again
Em D
These are the things, the things we lost
Bm C
The things we lost in the fire fire fire
Em C D
Flames they licked the walls
Em C Am D
Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore
