Intro: F
[Verse 1]
F
I'm walking in their footsteps,
F
I'm singing their old songs
Dm Bb
Somebody blazed this trail
F
I'm treadin' on
F
I'm bent, but I'm not broken
F
I'm stronger than I feel
Dm Bb
I'm made of flesh and bone
F
Not made of steel
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
I'm the keeper of the flame
F C
The teller of the story
Dm Bb
Keeper of the flame
F C
For the ones that came before me
Dm Bb
For the little poly lights waiting to ignite
F C
Like fireflies in the rain
Dm Bb F C
Keeper of the flame
[Verse 2]
F
I've been burned out to ashes
F
Waiting for a wind
Dm Bb F
To carry me and start a fire again
F
Sometimes I'm just a flicker
F
A candle in your eye
Dm Bb F
But I swear to God I'll never let it die
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
I'm the keeper of the flame
F C
The teller of the story
Dm Bb
Keeper of the flame
F C
For the ones that came before me
Dm Bb
For the little poly lights waiting to ignite
F C
Like fireflies in the rain
Dm Bb F C
Keeper of the flame
[Bridge]
Dm
When I'm drowning
Bb
When I'm fighting
F
When I'm screaming
C
When I'm hiding
Dm
When I'm losing
Bb
When I'm winning
F
I go back to
C
The beginning
[Chorus]
Dm Bb
Keeper of the flame
F C
The teller of the story
Dm Bb
Keeper of the flame
F C
I'm not doing it for the glory
Dm Bb
But for those little poly lights waiting to ignite
F C
Like fireflies in the rain
Dm Bb F C
Keeper of the flame
Dm Bb F C
I'm the keeper of the flame
Dm Bb F C
Ooooh, oooh
Dm Bb F C
I'm the keeper of the flame
Dm Bb F
Ooooh, oooh
