[Verse 1]
Dm              Bb
  How did we get  here?
               F
We're cast away on a lonely shore
C Dm                       Bb
    I can see in your eyes,  dear
                 F
It's hard to take for a moment more
Am7
   We've got to

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
  Burn the ships, cut the ties
Bb
  Send a flare into the night
F
 Say a prayer, turn the tide
Am7                            Bb
   Dry your tears and wave goodbye
            F      Gm
Step into a new day

[Chorus]
Bb                        F        Gm
  We can rise up from the dust and walk away
Bb                      C         Dm
  We can dance upon the heartache,  yeah

Dm                   Bb
  Don't let it arrest  you
     F                    C
This fear, this fear of fallin' again
Dm                    Bb
  And if you need a refuge
                F
I will be right here until the end
Am7
   Oh, it's time to

  So long to shame,
Bb
  walk through the sorrow
F               Am7
 Out of the fire   into tomorrow
Dm
  So flush the pills, face the fear
Bb
  Feel the weight disappear
F
 We're comin' clean, we're born again
Am7
   Our hopeful lungs can breathe again
Oh, we can breathe again
Bb            F      Gm
  Step into a new day
