Tom Smith plays it like this on his acoustic guitar
We can never go home, son
We no longer have one
I ll help you carry the load,
I ll carry you in my arms
We walk through the ash,
the charred remains of our country
Keep an eye on my back,
I ll keep an eye on the road
Help me to carry the fire
to keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road wont go on forever
If I say shut your eyes,
If I say look away
Bury your head in my shoulder
Think of a birthday
The things you put in your head
wont stay there forever
I'm trying hard to hide your soul, son
From things it s not meant to see
Help me to carry the fire
to keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road wont go on forever
(repeat chorus 1x)
If I say shut your eyes
If I say shut your eyes
Bury me in surprise
If I say shut your eyes
Oohh....= C Em D G
End with chorus, but with single strokes
Help me to carry the fire
to keep it alight together
Help me to carry the fire
This road wont go on forever
