Chords with lyrics

[Verse 1]

E minorEm
When I was a child, I heard voices,
E minorEm               B7B7
Some would sing and some would scream.
E minorEm
You soon find you have few choices,
E minorEm      B7B7        E minorEm
I learned the voices died with me.

E minorEm               C majorC
When I was a child, I'd sit for hours,
A minorAm        B7B7
Staring into open flame.
E minorEm          C majorC
Something in it had a power,
A minorAm      B7B7        E minorEm
Could barely tear my eyes away.

[Chorus]

E minorEm          C majorC  E minorEm
All you have is your fire,
E minorEm            B7B7
And the place you need to reach.
E minorEm    G6G6  C majorC     E minorEm
Don't you ever tame your demons,
E minorEm     B7B7      E minorEm
But always keep 'em on a leash.

[Verse 2]

E minorEm        G6G6   C majorC
When I was 16, my senses fooled me
A minorAm   C majorC         B7B7
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
E minorEm             G6G6   C majorC
I knew that something would always rule me,
A minorAm     B7B7        E minorEm
I knew this sin was mine alone.


[Chorus]

E minorEm          C majorC  E minorEm
All you have is your fire,
E minorEm            B7B7
And the place you need to reach.
E minorEm    G6G6  C majorC     E minorEm
Don't you ever tame your demons,
E minorEm     B7B7      E minorEm
But always keep 'em on a leash.

[Verse 3]

E minorEm      B7B7        C majorC
When I was a man I thought it ended,
G6G6   A minorAm         E minorEm
When I knew love's perfect ache.
E minorEm        B7B7    C majorC
But my peace has always depended
G6G6     A minorAm     E minorEm
On all the ashes in my wake.


[Chorus]

E minorEm          C majorC  E minorEm
All you have is your fire,
E minorEm            B7B7
And the place you need to reach.
E minorEm    G6G6  C majorC     E minorEm
Don't you ever tame your demons,
E minorEm     B7B7      E minorEm
But always keep 'em on a leash.
