Am
Am
I am a wavering candle light
F
I remain but I’m ever slight
G
Through all my years
Am
I sit
F
In my room in the fading light
Am
Righting back all my wrongs tonight
G
Cos I’m still here
G Am
Boarded up all the doors
F
And I swallowed all the keys
Am
I’m still haunted by
F G
All the things I’ll never be
Am
To live
F
Is to learn
C G
Oh the heart’s a heavy burden
Am
So I take
F
I don’t wait
C G
Nothing ever is for certain
Am
And I hold my hands up high
F C
On my knees tonight
Am
I’ll take
F
Won’t wait
C G Am
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
Am
I
Am
Never knew it could be so cold
F G
But I burnt all the things I used to hold so dear
Am
Still I fight
Am
With my pen in my hand held tight
F C G
Writing protest songs tonight cos I’m still here
G Am
Boarded up all the doors
F
And I swallowed all the keys
Am
I’m still haunted by
F G
All the things I’ll never be
Am
To live
F
Is to learn
C G
Oh the heart’s a heavy burden
Am
So I take
F
I don’t wait
C G
Nothing ever is for certain
Am
And I hold my hands up high
F C
On my knees tonight
Am
I’ll take
F
Won’t wait
C G Am
I will live and learn my lesson here tonight
C G Am
I will live and learn my lesson
