Standard (EADGBE)

Does it have to start with a broken heart

Broken dreams and bleeding parts

We were young and the world was clear

Young ambition disappears

I swore it would never come to this

The average, the obvious

How I'm still discontented down here

I'm still discontented

If we've only got one try

If we've only got one life

If time was never on our side

Then before I die I want to burn out bright

So a spark ignites in time and space

Limping through this human race

You bite and claw your way back home

But you’re running the wrong way

The future is a question mark

Of kerosene and electric sparks

There’s still fire in you yet

Yeah there’s still fire in you

If we've only got one try

If we've only got one life

If time was never on our side

Then before I die I want to burn out bright

Bright

I keep cleaning up the mess I’ve made

I keep cleaning up the mess I've made

I won't run away

I can’t sleep in the bed I’ve made

I can't sleep in the bed I've made

If we've only got one try

(We've only got one try)

If we've only got one life

(We've only got one life)

If time was never on our side

(Time was never on our side)

Then before I die I want to burn out bright
