[Verse 1]
            D
You found a map to my heart
   D               Bm
It led you to the well
    F#m          Bm
You combed at my mane
              G           D
I'll wear your saddle and reins
               D
With all these stars at my feet
     D                 Bm
I'll stamp and tap the spring
        F#m       Bm
With my rider a mount
           G             D
I feel like spreading my wings
            G        D
Take to the sky like poetry


[Chorus]
              Em           Em/D#
When we're in love, we're alive
           Em          Em/D#
You're the envy of the sky
      Em             Em/D#         Bm
Every ember wants to ride the supernova
      D                   D6/D#
But I fear you'll see the day
            Em              Em/D#
When I've endured all I can take
        Em              Em/D#
I won't bend but I will break
          D
Under the weight

[Verse 2]
            D
Because you broke within me
     D                Bm
What others could not tame
     F#m        Bm
I'll summon the wind
            G              D
And do your bidding day by day
              D
And with your firm strong hand
      D                  Bm
We're steady towards the north
   F#m            Bm
We are a thing of beauty
           G        D
Lit by the fires of iron ore
                G
Your good old girl
             D
Was built to soar


[Chorus]
              Em           Em/D#
When we're in love, we're alive
           Em          Em/D#
You're the envy of the sky
      Em             Em/D#         Bm
Every ember wants to ride the supernova
      D                   D6/D#
But I fear you'll see the day
            Em              Em/D#
When I've endured all I can take
        Em              Em/D#
I won't bend but I will break
          D
Under the weight

[Verse 3]
             D
Through many love-lit moons
  D               Bm
I served my rider well
  F#m          Bm
I suffered the bid
             G            D
And took his spur into my side
            D
And still I paid that price
       D                 Bm
When I shook that bridle free
    F#m        Bm                  G              D
And my beloved rider fell from the stars into the sea
              G              D
You're of the earth, I'm pegasi


[Chorus]
              Em           Em/D#
When we're in love, we're alive
           Em          Em/D#
You're the envy of the sky
      Em             Em/D#         Bm
Every ember wants to ride the supernova
      D                   D6/D#
But I fear you'll see the day
            Em              Em/D#
When I've endured all I can take
        Em              Em/D#
I won't bend but I will break
          D
