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