Intro: Gadd9 A6 | Bm | Gmaj

Gmaj       A6                     Gmaj
Someone’s selling garden roses down the square,
           A6                          Gmaj
People gathering by to breathe the morning air,
A        A#dim7    Bmadd9      Bmadd11 Bm Bmadd9
But no one sees the bitter cold and shivering empty hands.

Gadd9               A6                    Gadd9
A schoolgirl running by and trying to beat the bell,
Gmaj            A         F#m      Gadd9
People dropping, tossing coins in wishing wells,
A               A#dim7  Bm        Bmadd9 Bm
But no one cares for dreams that don’t fit into our world.

Chorus:
     Bm7  Gadd9      Gmaj A6
     Maybe nightfall
        F#m7     Bm Bmadd9
     Darkens skies
        G     Asus4     F#m7 Bmsus4 Bm
     And maybe teardrops stain our eyes,
        Bmadd9   Gmaj    A        Gmaj Gmaj5-
     But may the slightest light start a fire.

  Gmaj           A6                        Gmaj
A soldier in the hands of a forgotten mess
                A6             F#m7      Gmaj
Digging out the burning bullets in his chest,
           A6         A#dim7     Bm       Bmadd9
So eager, bold and noble – printing footsteps on this earth.

Chorus:
         Gmaj        A
     And maybe nightfall
        F#m7    Bm
     Darkens skies
        Gadd9       A    F#m F#m+ F#m7 Bm
     And maybe teardrops stain our eyes,
        Gmaj               A     Bm    F#7
     But may the slightest light start a fire,
      D       E6 E G
     Start a fire.
      D     Dmaj    Em    F# F#+ F#7
     But may the slightest light
           Bm
     Start a fire.
