Verse 1:
Eb                                        E F#
what once burned so violent in your heart.
Eb                                       E      Eb
is now a cold, hard, distant, calloused part of you.
Eb                                  E F#
what you embrace is what you become.
Eb                                         E
and I can see in your face the things used to run from.

Eb                                     E F#
so much to belong to, so much to pursue
Eb                                E     Eb
so much to consume, so much to consume you
Eb                                        E F#
you will get burned when you touch a flame
Eb                                        E
I guess you've learned that from the pain.

bare you so bold as to think that you can go on this way?

all alone in a world that left you cold.

Chorus:
Eb               E     Eb
as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another
Eb         E        Eb
brother to brother, if you lose your grip.
Eb                 E     Eb
and as air is to a fire, so we will be to each other
Eb        E     Eb            E   Eb E   Eb E   Eb E   Eb
one to another, if I start to slip,  slip,  slip,  slip.
