(Intro.)
|(C/G)(C/E)(F) /

(Verse 1)
Though (C)we’ve not (C/E)reached the end (C)
We should (Am)take some time apart (F)
Leave (C/E)here with no regrets (G)
Knowing we (C/E)gave our (F)all
Oh, I (C/E) cannot pretend (G)
That this won't (Am)break our hearts (F)
But we (C/E)will meet again (G)

(Pre-Chorus)
(G)I know the (C/E)order’s (Am)tall
But (G)we could be so much (F) more

(Chorus)
(C) Out of the embers, we'll rise (F) from the a-(C)shes
And write (F) in the stars (C) with our names (G)
(C) That we are here, we are bruised, (F) we are dam-(C)aged
But the (Am)joy was (G)worth the pain (Dm)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, (F)love's (C/E)a (G)beautiful (C)game

(Verse 2)
(G)(Am)(G/B)(C) (C/E)(F) Oh, what a state we're (G)in
But the war is (Am)far from won (F)
Yeah, (C/E)we did everything (G)
Anyone (C)could (C/E)have (F)done
We'll (F)pick the (C/E)pieces up (G)
Put it together, we (Am)pray and (F)hope it works
They say it's in the (C/E)blood (G)

(Pre-Chorus)
(G) I know the (C/E)order’s (Am)tall
But (G)we could be so much (F) more

(Chorus)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh) (C) Out of the embers, we'll rise (F) from the ashes (C)
And write (F) in the stars (C) with our names (G)
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) (C) That we are here, we are bruised, (F) we are (C)damaged
But the (Am)joy was (G)worth the pain (Dm)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, (F)love's (C/E)a (G)beautiful game (C)

(Bridge)
(C)  Whoa, oh, oh, oh
(F)  Whoa, oh, oh, oh, (Am) a beautiful game (G)
(C)  Whoa, oh, oh, oh
(F)  Whoa, oh, oh, oh, (Am) a beautiful game (G) (It's just a beautiful game)
(C)  Whoa, oh, oh, oh

(C)  Whoa, oh, oh, oh
(F)  Whoa, oh, oh, oh, (Am) a beautiful game (G)

(Chorus)
(C) Out of the embers, we'll rise (F) from the ashes (G)
And write (F) in the stars (C) with our names (G)
(C) That we are here, we are (F)bruised, we are (C)damaged
But the (Am)joy was (G)worth the pain (Dm)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, (F)love's (C/E)a (G)beautiful (C)game - - - - -
