Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][G]
[Am][F][C][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]How did we get h[F]ere?
All casta[C]way on a lonely [G]shore
[Am]I can see in your eyes[F], dear
It's hard to [C]take for a moment [G]more

[Pre-chorus 1]
We've got to
[Am]Burn the ships, cut the ties[F]
Send a flare into the [C]night
Say a prayer, turn the [Em]tide
Dry your tears and wave good[F]bye

[Chorus 1]
Step into a [C]new [Dm]day[F]
We can rise up from the [C]dust and [Dm]walk a[F]way
We can dance upon our [G]heartache,
[Am]yeah[F]
So light a [G]match, leave the [Am]past,
burn the [Dm]ships

[Interlude 1]
And don't you look back
[Am][F][C][Em]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Don't let it arrest [F]you
This [C]fear is fear of [G]fallin' [Em]again
[Am]And if you need a refu[F]ge
I will be right [C]here until the [Em]end

[Pre-chorus 2]
Oh, it's time to
[Am]Burn the ships, cut the ties[F]
Send a flare into the [C]night
Say a prayer, turn the [Em]tide
Dry your tears and wave good[F]bye

[Chorus 2]
Step into a [C]new [Dm]day[F]
We can rise up from the [C]dust and [Dm]walk a[F]way
We can dance upon our [G]heartache,
[Am]yeah[F]
So light a [G]match, leave the [Am]past,
burn the [Dm]ships
And [F]don't you look back

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][C][Em]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]So long to shame,
[F]walk through the sorrow[C]
Out of the fire
[Em]into tomorrow
[Am]So flush the pills, face the fear[F]
Feel the wave disap[C]pear
We're comin' clear, we're born a[Em]gain
Our hopeful lungs can breathe again
Oh, we can breathe a[F]gain

[Chorus 3]
Step into a [C]new [Dm]day[F]
We can rise up from the [C]dust and [Dm]walk a[F]way
We can dance upon our [G]heartache,
[Am]yeah[F]
So light a [G]match, leave the [Am]past,
burn the [Dm]ships
[F]Step into a

[Chorus 4]
[C]new [Dm]day[F]
We can rise up from the [C]dust and [Dm]walk a[F]way
We can dance upon our [G]heartache,
[Am]yeah[F]
So light a [G]match, leave the [Am]past,
burn the [Dm]ships
And [F]don't you look back

[Outro 1]
[Am][F][C][Em]
And don't you look back
[Am][F][C][Em]
And don't you look back
[Repeat and fade]
