[Chorus]
      C            G
Every time I see a spark
                D
There’s someone putting out the fire
          C           G
But I will not let my grandparents
D
bury their grandchild
       C                 G
It’s a struggle back and forth
        Bm
And I’m learning but it’s
            C
happening by force
        D                 G
It’s 4 AM and I’m fucking tired
