Verse
GShe's moving like a fCorest fire
G/BLeaving no pDath unscathed
GToo young to be as jaCded as I
G/BBut old enough to fDeel the strain
GI hope that I can hoCld on to
G/BThe beauty that I'll Dnever match
GThat never-ending opCen wound
G/BThat started from a sDimple scratch
Chorus
CI want to save Gus from bDeing saCved
CBefore we get too oGld and Dwaste Caway
CLike some lovers dGestined Dto die AmyoungC  
And so through all the loss we've seen
Of friends who sit and think too much
Too fragile for the cold outside
Too proud to say what's on their minds
This is for the broken fools
Whose flames are gone before their time
And if you see me trip an fall
Save me from a swift decline
I want to sink beneath a drunken sea
Look into your eyes when you take the breath from me
There's always something to live for
