[A] [B] [A] [D] Come [A] from far [Dm] away, [A] on this [D] ground, they [A] know it's real.
[B] [A] [D] It [A] doesn't take too [Dm] long for this [A] road to [D] become a [A] battlefield.
And before I [F#m] let one [A]
understand that I won't give one inch [D] of ground [A] from beneath
[D] Yours and [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 [D] I am the keeper, yeah
[A] [Dm] [A]
Mmm
[D] [A]
Mmm
[D] [A] Beauty and truth [Dm] collide, where [A] love meets [D] genocide, [A] laughter meets fear
[Dm]
[A] [D] [A] Confusion all [Dm] around as I try [A] to feed these [D] mouths, never [A] known [B]
[A] singing
[D] [A] And before I let one more tear hit the ground, I will be the one [F#m] standing [A] between you [D] and the sound [A] of the rhymes
[D]
[A] Echoing [D] out [A] of the dark, [D] smoke and [A] the [D] spark, and you [A] let the heart on the flame
I [D] am the keeper, yeah
[G]
[B] I [D] [A] cannot see the [Dm] light at the end [A] of the tunnel [D] tonight, [A] my eyes [Dm] are [A] weary
And before I let one more life be erased from the ashes, I will rise for you [D] and the ghosts [A] of names
[D] Faces [A] and [D] frames, the love [A] and the pain, [D] for you [A] I'll remain
[D] Oh I'm not [A] worthy of [D] being [A] the keeper of the [Em] flame
[D] I am the keeper, yeah
[A] [Dm] [A] [D] I am the [A] keeper
