[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][G][Am][F][C][G]
[F]
I thought the [C]candle was

But [C]the candle never went out,
[G]never went [F]out

[Verse 2]
[F]
The [C]way found its wave to [G]the shore
I [Am]thought it was a ripple and [F]nothing more
But [C]the wave found its way all
the [G]way to [F]the shore

[Verse 3]
[F]Oh, [G]oh, [Am]I wanna burn[F] this hous[C]e
[G]I kno[Am]w I'll wanna jum[F]p into the fir[C]e

But the [C]thrill it feels so nice,
you'd [G]do [F]it all again

[Verse 5]
[F]
But I [C]look to the chips I'd [G]loose

[G]Oh,[Am] oh, I gotta tear them down
[F]Pinnacles of [G]my invisible em[C]pire

[Verse 7]
And [C]if [Am]I do, all the things I do
And I tell my[G]self that I'm staying true
I'll never [F]stop, you know I'll never stop
You know I'll never [Am]think about [G]it
[Am]Put it into all this time,
that I would [G]spend with it on my mind
You know it never stopped,
[F]no, I'll never stop
You know I'll always

I [G]wondered about the wonder

[Verse 8]
[Am]Oh, I wear a r[F]usting c[C]rown and
[G]I kno[Am]w this dynast[F]y

The crowd [Am]shouts for an[G]other round
[Am]To see the r[F]uin, the spectacular,

The signal fires of [G]my invisible
