Martina McBride (Emotion)
Key of C
Verse 1
My right hand holds [C]matches[G]
my left holds [C]my past[G]
I hope the wind [C]catches[G]
and burns it [C]down fast[G]
Bridge
I'm gonna [F]step in[G]to the [Am]fire
with my [F]failures [C]and my [G]shame
and [F]wave good[G]bye to [Am]yesterday
as I [F]dance a[C]mong the [G]flames
Chorus
Don't try to [F]save me [C]now
Let the [G]walls of my world all burn [Am]down
Just [F]stand back and wait 'til the [Am]smoke finally passes
and [Dm]I will rise from the [G]ashes from the ashes [F]from the [C]ashes[G][C][G]
Verse 2
For all that I'm [C]losing[G]
much more I [C]will gain[G]
The hard part is [C]choosing[G]
To change what [C]needs to be changed[G]
Bridge
My [F]step will [G]be much [Am]lighter
With these [F]demons [C]off my [G]chest
I'm [F]born to [G]be a [Am]spirit
And [F]lay the [C]old to [G]rest
Repeat Chorus
Outro
I'll [F]walk away [C]stronger
[F]I will be [C]flyin' [F]higher and truer than I've flown before
Repeat Verse 1
