C       G
My right hand holds matches
              C       G
my left holds my past
                C       G
I hope the wind catches
             C         G
and burns it down fast

[Bridge]
          F      G      Am
I'm gonna step into the fire
        F        C      G
with my failures and my shame
    F        G      Am
and wave goodbye to yesterday
     F      C        G
as I dance among the flames

[Chorus]
             F       C
Don't try to save me now
        G                          Am
Let the walls of my world all burn down
     F                            Am
Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
    Dm                   G                    F        C     G C G
and I will rise from the ashes from the ashes from the ashes

[Verse 2]
                 C      G
For all that I'm losing
            C         G
much more I will gain
                 C        G
The hard part is choosing
               C                   G
To change what needs to be changed

[Bridge]
   F         G       Am
My step will be much lighter
           F      C      G
With these demons off my chest
    F       G    Am
I'm born to be a spirit
    F       C      G
And lay the old to rest

[Chorus]
             F       C
Don't try to save me now
        G                          Am
Let the walls of my world all burn down
     F                            Am
Just stand back and wait 'til the smoke finally passes
    Dm                   G                    F        C     G C G
and I will rise from the ashes from the ashes from the ashes

[Outro]
     F         C
I'll walk away stronger
F         C      F
I will be flyin' higher and truer than I've flown before
