Am               F 
Once when I was young, 
                              Am                G 
That I could one day hold the world right as it spun, 
                 Am 
Yeah that was the plan 
                F                          Am                     G 
Now it, seems as though I've made a mess of everything I've ever done 

                 Am       F 
Could I forget it all? 
         Am        G 
Follow the setting sun... 

     F       C        G 
It's crystal clear to me 
                      Am 
That I've been killing time 
                            G 
Nothing's going to stand in my way 
   F   C 
No I'm not done, 
     G                             Am 
Even if the sun sets I will start a fire 
              G 
To change your mind 


Am 
A scar is just a mark, 
        F                             Am       G 
Not a burden but a start of something new 
Am 
Even stars in the end fade, 
         F                                     Am       G 
Given time coast lines will change so why won't you? 


G 
Could I forget it all? 
Am                      F 
I've lost teeth, failed every test, 
Am                                  G 
My broken heart's the only thing of value I have left. 


      F      C        G 
It's crystal clear to me 
                       Am 
That I've been killing time 
                               G 
Nothing's going to stand in my way 
     F      C 
Cos I'm not done, 
     G                              Am 
Even if the sun sets I will start a fire 
   G 
To change your mind 


Am              F 
You will see me in the dark, 
Am               F 
Burning brighter than the stars 
Am                            F (or G, if you want) 
Wanna fight the motion of the setting sun, 
Am                            G 
I hold my head up high cos I'm still here. 


F      C         G 
Crystal clear to me, 
                       Am 
That I've been killing time 
                           G 
Nothing's gonna stand in my way 
F          C 
No I'm not done, 
     G                             Am 
Even if the sun sets I will start a fire 
               G 
To change your mind 


     F       C       G 
It's crystal clear to me 
     F       C       G 
It's crystal clear to me 
    F   C          G                             Am 
I'm not done even if the sun sets I will start a fire, 
               G 
To change your mind. 
          Am  G  F 
No I'm not done
