Intro
G F C  x2

Verse 1
G                         Em
My faith ran out with the flames one night
A7                             C
Shrinking in the embers of the firelight
          Cm                  G
You were rambling about your friends
               C                      D
How you were never going to see them again

G                         Bm
There wasn′t any fire and brimstone left
A7                               C
Just a hollow rattle inside your chest
            Cm                G
Deep in the dark of our 45th day
          C                  D
It wasn't ever going to go away

Chorus
  Em                                 D           C
I began to understand the things the heat requires
C              D             G    F   C
Looking at you through this fire

Verse 2
G                          Em
The last days come and the last days go
A7                        C
Carried away in the undertow
           Cm                   G
But on our trust we rise and fall
C            D
Human after all

G                            Bm
I calculated one week to go, maybe less
A7                               C
You were slipping in and out of consciousness
         Cm            G
What are seven days worth?
C                    D
Seven days on this earth

Chorus
  Em                       D             C
More than kings in their castles might desire
C              D             Em
Looking at you through this fire

Bridge
B
Through this fire where we were witnesses when
Em
You were reborn
C                      G    A            D
One of the seven at Jericho, sounding his horn

Verse 3
G               Em
Bear me on the breath of dawn
A7                      C
Very soon we′ll both be gone
Cm                           G
It's getting harder to hear you, friend
C                        D
Waiting for the world to end

G                               Bm
But let me isolate the relevant voice in the choir
     A7                     C
Somewhere out there on the wire
Cm                               G
I'll run all night, but my legs won′t tire
A7                        C
The ocean is faithful and the devil′s a liar

Chorus
C              D             G    F   C
Looking at you through this fire
