Capo on 2nd fret "Ash And Ember" Capo II Chorus begins with Fmaj9 x03213 Intro/Verse: F C Am G Am I seeing double, am I withdrawn F C Am G Depositing lyrics into a love song F C Am G Spider weaving webs for a catch that won't come F C Am G Am I pulling roses from a dead bush F C Am G A soldier running late for the ambush F C Am G Ready in the depth for a stone that's long gone F-C-Am-G PreChorus: G Is it too late? F C Am G It's never ending but nevertheless (Is it too late) F C Am G I'm the first one to second my guess F Am C G And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember Chorus: Fmaj9 Am And every I step I take, got the devil to repay G I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender Fmaj9 Am Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way G Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember Ash and ember Fmaj9 Am G F C Am G Am I reaching out for something that I can't grab F C Am G Something infinitely splitting into two halves F C Am G Is there something I forgot that I can't remember F C Am G Am I swimming in a river that was manmade F C Am G Demolishing a road that was just paved F C Am G It's like trying to catch a junebug in late December G Is it too late? F C Am G It's never ending but nevertheless (Is it too late) F C Am G I'm the first one to second my guess F Am C G And the fire in my heart came from ash and ember Chorus: Fmaj9 Am And every I step I take, got the devil to repay G I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender Fmaj9 Am Had to take it day by day, had to learn the hard way G Like a phoenix rising up from ash and ember Ash and ember F C Am G Have I climbed the ladder to the last rung F C Am G Am I simply gonna finish where I started from F C Am G Is the future just the past that I'll never outrun Fmaj9 Am And every I step I take, got the devil to repay G I'll never make it out alive, but I won't surrender Fmaj9 Am Had to take it day by day, had to feel the heartbreak G Like a phoenix I was born from ash and ember Ash and ember Ash and ember Am I stealing something I could borrow Is yesterday just waiting for tomorrow
