[A]
[D] [A] [Dm]
[A] [D] I come [A] from far away, [Dm] my boots [A] don't know this [D] ground, but they [A] know it's real
It doesn't take too [Dm] long for this [A] road to [D] become a [A] battlefield
[D] [A] And before I let one more fire go out, understand that [F#m] I won't give [A] one inch [D] of ground from [A] beneath
[D] Yours in [A] my feet, [D] whatever [A] the price [D] happens [A] to be, [D] I may not be [A] the keeper of the flame
[E] But I [D] am the keeper
[A]
[Dm] [A] [D]
[A]
[D] Beauty [A] and truth collide, [Dm] where [A] love meets [D] genocide, where laughter [A] meets [Dm] fear
[A] [D] Confusing [A] all [Dm] around as I [A] try to feel these [D] mouths that have never [A] known singing
[D] [A] And before I let one more tear hit [E] the ground, I [A] will be the one [F#m] standing [A] between you and [D] the sound of [A] the rounds
[D]
[A] Echoing [D] out, out [A] of the dark, [D] the smoke and [A] the [D] spark aimed [A] at the [E] heart of [A] the flame
[Em] I am [D] the keeper
[G] [B]
[D] I [A] cannot see the [Dm] light at the end of [A] the tunnel [D] tonight, [A] my eyes are weary
[D] [A] And before I [F#m] let one [A] more life [D] get [F#m] erased from the ashes, I will rise [A] for you
I will be the one standing between you [D] and the ghosts [A] of the names, [D] faces [A] and frames
[D] The love and the [A] pain [D] for you [A] I'll remain, [D] though I'm not worthy [A] of
[D] being the [A] keeper of the flame
[D] [G]
I [D] am the keeper
I [A]
[Dm] [A] [D]
[A] am the [Dm] keeper
