[Verse 1]
A
Oh what a year to be here
Em                             D
On this little rock, third from the sun
       A               A Asus4 A Amaj7
And we need some mercy

[Verse 2]
A
Lighting a way from south to north
Em                       D
Voices raised under a Starry Host
  A                      A Asus4 A Amaj7
A flame for change grows

[Pre-Chorus]
D
 These burning
D                          F#m
 These burning ashes in my mouth
F#m
Heaven help us
F#m                       Em
 Out of this never ending spell
            D
Our better angels
    C
Are singing, singing

[Chorus]
Em          A
One way out, only one way
Em      A
Out of this
  Em           A
Unfreeze those wings that you dreamed
Em            A
 In your chrysalis

[Verse 3]
A
Blazing East to the West
Em                     D
Watch fires lit to give us hope
  A                      A Asus4 A Amaj7
A flame for change grows

[Pre-Chorus]
D
 These burning
D                          F#m
 These burning ashes in my mouth
F#m
Heaven help us
F#m                      Em
 Heaven help us help ourselves
            D
Our better angels
    C
Are singing, singing

[Chorus]
Em          A
One way out, only one way
Em      A
Out of this
  Em           A
Unfreeze those wings that you dreamed
Em            A
 In your chrysalis
Em        A
 Better angels
Em
 Dream they
   A
Exist
