Verse 1:
A minorAm         Cmaj7/G
 I am a fire under wind
          Bm7/F#
I am a lion deep within
              Fmaj7Fmaj7
I don't want you to slow me down
             G+G
I don't want you to stall me
A minorAm                Cmaj7/G
 You got claws, scratch away at me
                   Bm7/F#
Rag doll, fall down, make a meal of me
              Fmaj7Fmaj7
I am the sand, you are the sea

You are all of me, you drown me

Pre-Chorus:
Fmaj7Fmaj7   A minorAm     C majorC   Fmaj7Fmaj7
I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe
  A minorAm            C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7
Sometimes I get a little bit overwhelmed
      A minorAm      C majorC      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Then I can see, that my heart still beats
   Bm7/F#      Fmaj7Fmaj7           A minorAm
I got nothing but power, I'll strike you like lightning

Chorus:
        Cmaj7/G      C majorC  Fmaj7Fmaj7
Take it to the heart, and wash it out
           C majorC       DmDm
Go back to the start, it's raging now
           A minorAm     Cmaj7/G Fmaj7Fmaj7
Be a better fighter, lover, oh please
          Bm7/F#  Fmaj7Fmaj7
I don't want you to break me down

Post-Chorus:
 A minorAm
(Mm, no, oh, oh)
 Cmaj7/G
(Mm, no, oh, oh)
 Fmaj7Fmaj7
(Mm, no, oh, oh)
          Bm7/F#  Fmaj7Fmaj7
I don't want you to break me down (no, oh)

Verse 2:
A minorAm              Cmaj7/G
 Condemn me down to burning shores
               Bm7/F#
You think I ain't been here before
                  Fmaj7Fmaj7
I've been here way more times than you
           G+G
Could ever dream to fathom
A minorAm               Cmaj7/G
 You want more, get away from me
                  Bm7/F#
I don't need you, goodness sake, I mean
                  Fmaj7Fmaj7
How could you think you stand over me?

I'm alive now, electric
