Warm yourself by the fire son,
D5 Csus
And the morning will come soon.
G5 Csus
I'll tell you stories of a better time,
D5 Csus
In a place that we once knew.
[Verse 2:] (A little more distorted for electric)
G5 Csus
Before we packed our bags and we left all this
D5 Csus

G5 Csus
We had a place that we could call home

And a life no-one could touch.
