G GM7 G7 Cadd9
(2x)

[Verse]
G GM7
The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips
G7 Cadd9
In slow currents, and I watch as your face is framed in its
G GM7
Slow currents, drifting curls, a trailing path
G7 Cadd9 G
A long drag becomes a tress of blue and ash

[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7
If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn
Cadd9 G
Burn as brightly as we can
Cadd9 Em7
And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames
Cadd9 G
Let it burn all the way down

[Verse]
G
The air is visceral around us
GM7 G7
Turning in its simple steps on slow currents
Cadd9 G GM7 G7
And I watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion
Cadd9 Em7
A long drag becomes a slow dance
Cadd9 G
In a halo of ember

[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7
If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn
Cadd9 G
Burn as brightly as we can
Cadd9 Em7
And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames
Cadd9 Am7 F#
Let it burn all the way down

[Bridge]
G
All the way down

F#
And if this is ever meant to end
G
Then I hope it ends where it began
F#
So hot with love, we burned our hands

G
If this is ever meant to end
F#
Then I hope it ends where it began
Cadd9 Am7 F# G
So hot with love, it burns our hands

[Chorus]
Cadd9 Em7
If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn
Cadd9 G
Burn as brightly as we can
Cadd9 Em7
And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames
Cadd9 G
Let it burn
Cadd9
(Let it burn)

[Outro]
Em7
If it’s got to end
Cadd9
(Let it burn)
G
If it’s got to end
Cadd9
(Let it burn)

It ends where it began
Cadd9 Am7 G
So hot with love, it burns our hands
