C                  F         Am 
I was the first to watch you leave  
C               F        C 
Poor in soul, a dried up stream  
C                      F     Am 
You were the last of a dying breed  
C                   F       C 
Prone to wander but born to lead  


C  F   Am 
Oh ohh  
C  F   C 
Oh ohh  

C                     F    Am 
I still remember your innocence  
C                     F           C 
Oh the days when your heart was in it  
C                          F       Am 
Oh but now you're like the falling sun  
C                         F      C 
And the race to death has just begun  

Am            C         Am     C 
So light your torch and follow me  
F              C             Am             C 
We'll burn the boats back to who we used to be  
Am           C           Am            C 
And all this time it was never what it seemed  
F              C             F              C 
Let's burn the boats back to who we used to be

Oh ohh  
C  F   C 
Oh ohh  

C                           F        Am 
And all the memories of the days you lost 
C                            F         C  
You add them up and then you count the cost  
C                         F     Am 
You're just a shadow of a man undone 
C                     F      C 
Another life that has just begun 


Am            C         Am     C
