I walk through fire for you, Your fever it cools me, The ladder in my blood

Shows the way to my place, Next to you, And I remember, How you held them,
F/Dm C9 B/G F/Dm C9 D5 C/D5 B/G

Your eyes pierce the sky, Beckoning, The light brings me in
D5 C/D5 B/G D5 C/D5 B/G D5 C/D5 B/G
I wait forever for you, Our blood is alive, it heals me, Delivers me to dirt
D5 C/D5 B/G C9 B/G D5 C9 B/G D5
I've reached into a netherworld, And I remember, How you held them
F/Dm C9 B/G F/Dm C9 B/G
Your eyes pierce the sky, Beckoning, The light brings me in
F/Dm C9 B/G F/Dm C9 D5
Your eyes pierce the sky, Beckoning, The light brings me in
