Last Burning Ember

 
A              F#m 
Every day I'm payin 
A                        F#m 
For the words I keep from sayin 
D 
I pray that we can talk this through 
Bm 
But I just can't get a hold on you 
        A                             E 
And I'm yearnin like I never have before 
 

 
A                    E 
So I try to keep my eye 
Em       D      A 
On that last burnin' ember 
                        Em 
'Til the day that I go blind 
       D         A 
I swore I'd never surrender 
         Bm 
So many years since we lit the flame 
          D                    A 
So many years, now all that remains 
 E     D          F#m        N.C. 
Oh, is that last burnin' ember 
 

 
A                F#m 
Every night I'm pinin 
A                        F#m 
To mend the knot that is untwinin 
D 
As a martyr, I will swing 
 Bm                         
Before I pawn my weddin' ring 
        A                                   E 
Though I'm starving, I would never ask for more 
 

 
                    Em 
So I try to keep my eye 
         D      A 
On that last burnin' ember 
                        Em 
'Til the day that I go blind 
       D      A 
I swore I'd never surrender 
         Bm 
So many years since we lit the flame 
          D                    A 
So many years, now all that remains 
 E     D          F#m        N.C. 
Oh, is that last burnin' ember
