So this song is pretty simple. I think it's pretty accurate.
Tuning: Standard
Capo: None
Intro: C F x2
C F Am G
There were days when each hour was a war I fought to survive
C F G F
There were nights full of nightmares and I dreaded closing my eyes
C F Am G
There were skies that burst open with a downpour to drown me alive
C F G
But the world took a spark like a match in the dark and the fire brought me
F
to life
C G C
So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'cause there's no other way we
G F
can stay alive
C G Am F
'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite
C G Am
And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the
F
fire die
C G Am F
And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light
C G Am F
And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die

C F Am G
And you'll find, there'll be mornings when the ashes and embers are cold
C F G F
But you'll fight with a passion and you'll never stop 'cause you know
C F Am G
Yeah you know it gets better and your story is yet to be told
C F
Every push, every shove, every war, every love
G F
Yeah the coals are beginning to glow
C G C
So I'm fanning the flames to climb so high 'cause there's no other way we
G F
can stay alive
C G Am F
'Cause we're burning bright as we all unite
C G Am
And when it's all said and done we'll shine like the sun so don't let the
F
fire die
C G Am F
And we'll watch the sky as it fills with light
C G Am F
And though the embers are new, whatever you do just don't let the fire die
C G F G
Don't let the fire die
C
It gets better
G F G
Just don't let the fire die, no...
