Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
5  O'Clock and a fire escape symphony
Spilling  out across the road and the square
 And the sky's  the same as your own do you think  of me
 Do the parks  and trees and leaves reach you there
 Sub Chorus
 After the rain,  in the lonely  hours he haunts  me
 Calling out, again  and again
Sophia  Sophia  I'm burning  I'm burning
 It's a fire,  a fire  I cannot  put out
Sophia  Sophia  I'm learning that  some things I can't  go without
 And one of them,  is him
 And now I walk  these streets like a stranger in my  home town,
 Learn the language,  form the words when I speak,
 But he changed  me, I'm his ghost since he came  around,
 And now I count  the hours and the days in the  weeks.
 Pre Chorus
Passion  and silence,
 Every word,  every line, a measure,
 It's the science of  the soul,
 And his books,  they breathe a reason  and now  I want  to know
Sophia  Sophia  I'm burning  I'm burning
 It's a fire,  a fire  I cannot  put out
Sophia  Sophia  I'm learning that  some things I can't  go without
 And one of them,  is him
You,  with your  new born eyes,
 Have you ever loved  a man like I  love him?
 Do you hurt  but still feel  alive, like  never  before?
 Oh, Sophia,  Sophia.
Sophia  Sophia  I'm burning  I'm burning
 It's a fire,  a fire  I cannot  put out
Sophia  Sophia  I'm learning that  some things I can't  go without
 I can't go  without  him
 Hope that worked for ya, works for me all the time, now leave a rating!
