[Verse 1]

F              G         C     C
I watched the fire burn down
F           G             C    C
I saw the smoke carry it away

[Pre-Hook]
Dm                           Am
But all this joy out of the ashes
                F                  C
I would've held on, but I got distracted
    C
I guess I never thought
Am                   F
Anything good could come from the dead and gone

[Hook] [2x]
C         Am
Let it go on
          F                    G
Everyone else is having their fun
               C                     Am
Don't you get uptight, doesn't help none
               F               G
Guess I could get behind, get behind this

[Verse 2]
F          G         C    C
I'm left staring in awe
F          G           C                  C
So much life beyond my control, but it's better that way


[Pre-Hook]
Dm                           Am
But all this joy out of the ashes
                F                  C
I would've held on, but I got distracted
    C
I guess I never thought
Am                   F
Anything good could come from the dead and gone

               C                     Am
Don't you get uptight, doesn't help none
               F               G
Guess I could get behind, get behind this

I guess there's still a lot to learn
   Am             G             F  C 
I know I've got a lot to learn
