FIREWORKS
Words and music by Embrace

C Am Em C Am Em C

[Verse 1]
I stretched over to reach you
I tried to meet you, I’ve been wrong
Now the fireworks in me are gone
It’s time I realised

[Verse 2 – same chords]
My girl you make all the right moves
And sees through all my wrongs
When the fireworks in me are gone
Then I realised

And I won’t need convincing
I’ve seen enough to want to try and change things
You fell in love, I fell in line
I thought I found my place
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe
Have I let you, I never let you down.
C Am Em G

[Verse 3 – same as verse 1]
I work all day and I won’t fight
When it feels right and its wrong
When the fireworks in me are all gone
Then I realised

And I won’t need convincing
I’ve seen enough to want to try and change things
You fell in love, I fell in line
I thought I found my place
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe
Could I leave you, I’d never let you down.

C Am Em C

When I lost you, I played a part I never really knew
Letting go, was the best thing I could do
Before you turn that knife, you have to say you’ll cut me down
And letting go, is effortless now
You found me out

But I can’t come down anymore
I’m here till you say it isn’t so
I’m in hope
And I can’t come down anymore
No, I’m on a road I’ve never known
And there’s no way home

I’ve found something, I would die from now
I don’t feel fit to live
Are you the one it finishes with?

I spend my days thinking of you, praying you would think of me
Was I wrong, to let you just leave me?

But I can’t come down anymore
I’m here till you say it isn’t so
I’m in hope
And I can’t come down anymore
No, I’m on a road I’ve never known
On my own

And I wanna know, what things you see up close in lies, they disappear
And I wanna know, if I was just a waste of time for you
I want you to say, if you’re with him alone, or someone new,
But I can’t come down, till you do.

But I can’t come down anymore
Until you say it isn’t so
I’m in hope
And I can’t come down, anymore
No I’m on a road I’ve never known
On my own

But I can’t come down anymore
No I’m on a road I’ve never known
And there’s no way home

thanks.

EMBRACE – COME BACK TO WHAT YOU KNOW
written by McNamara/McNamara

Transcribed by Karim Adab with help from Tak.

Embrace tune their guitars down a whole step so this is played in the Bb
position.

Come back to what you know,
Take everything, real slow,
I wanna lose you but I can’t,
Let you go.
Before you interfere,
Let me make it loud and clear,
That you got no more to prove.
I’m the fool.

So take it easy, on yourself,
There’s nothing new about, declaring how you felt.
I’ll never let you down,
Or ever feel the way that I’ve been fearing now.

CHORUS :

Coming back to what you know won’t mean a thing.
Everything that you’ve done keeps you from me.
Now I know that I need more time,
Come back and let me see your eye.
I’m coming back to what you know,
Cos I know that I need it now it’s gone.
Now I know that I need more time,
Come back and let me see your eye.

MIDDLE 8:

So hang on to what you’ve got,
keep it safe.
Hang on to what you’ve got,
keep it safe from harm.
You’ll find.
There’s nothing new that we can’t leave behind.

(ending on Eb then back to verse)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Verse one:

Someday, you’re gonna see the way I see things
Break out the box that keeps you sealed in
Someday, you find the real thing

Someday, you’re gonna feel the isolation
‘cause no one wants you with them
Someday, I’m gonna bring you back
and you won’t know how to act

----------------------------------------------------------------

Bridge:

The world you think is safe is changing fast
and all the runaways will run their last.
If you turn away, you can’t turn back
The time has come to make way

----------------------------------------------------------------

Chorus:

And it just don’t matter too much to me
If you can’t run ‘cause I will carry
You up on my back until you’re safe
And you will feel the way I feel someday

----------------------------------------------------------------

Verse two:

Someday, you’re gonna feel the way I’m feeling
But all the bad you think I’m suffering, won’t break
It only heals me

----------------------------------------------------------------

Chorus:

And it just don’t matter too much to me
If you can’t run ‘cause I will carry
You up on my back until you’re safe
And you will feel the way I feel someday

For every stone you throw you’ll carry
A million more and you’ll be sorry
No one will escape who knows the way
And we will not sow as we reap someday

----------------------------------------------------------------

Middle eight:
A light is gonna shine on you and I
A light is gonna shine on you and I

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Someday, you’re gonna see the way I see things
Break out the box that keeps you sealed in
Someday, were gonna bring you back
(yeah)

My Girl Is Just A Retread
I Lost Her When I Hit The Breaks
Our Love Hit Science Fiction Levels
Now I’m Bending ‘cos I’ve Made A Mistake
Here I Stand Afraid
With No More To Say
Now I Feel So Insecure
I Can’t Save
Something I Feel So Much For
Won’t You Stay
And Leave A Light For Me
