The Fire Inside chords
Bob Seger

Capo I

G+G C majorC 2x

     G+G
There's a hard moon rising on the streets tonight,
     C majorC                     G+G      C majorC
there's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
      G+G
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown lights,
     C majorC            G+G       C majorC
where the latest neon promises are burning bright

     G+G
Past the open windows on the darkened streets,
   C majorC               G+G      C majorC
where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
     G+G
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines,
C majorC
tired new money dressed to the nines
  G+G
The low life dealers with their bad designs,
    C majorC
and the dilettantes with their open minds
    D MajorD
You're out on the town, safe in the crowd,
E minorEm
ready to go for the ride
C majorC
Searching the eyes, looking for clues,
    G+G        D MajorD C majorC  G+G C majorC
there's nowhere you can hide,
      G+G  C majorC
the fire inside

      G+G
Well you've been the clubs and the discotheques,
     C majorC                        G+G    C majorC
where the deal one another from the bottom of the deck of promises
     G+G
Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks,
   C majorC                  G+G    C majorC
do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
     G+G
Then the lights go down and they dance real close,
    C majorC                   G+G       C majorC
and for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
     G+G
Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone,
  C majorC
the darkness scatters as the lights flash on
   G+G
They hold one another just a little too long,
     C majorC
then they move apart and then move on

D MajorD
On to the street, on to the next,
E minorEm
safe in the knowledge that they tried
C majorC
Faking the smile, hiding the pain,
G+G     D MajorD C majorC G+G C majorC
never satisfied,
      G+G  C majorC
the fire inside
    G+G
Fire inside

Solo G+G C majorC x  D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G C majorC

    G+G
Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep,
  C majorC
you listen to him dress and you listen to him leave,
     G+G       C majorC
like you knew he would
  G+G
You hear his car pull away in the street,
     C majorC
then you move to the door and you lock it,
     G+G      C majorC
when he's gone for good
     G+G
Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon,
C majorC                 G+G      C majorC
riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
    G+G
Then it comes to you how it all slips away,
C majorC
youth and beauty are gone one day
  G+G
No matter what you dream or feel or say,
  C majorC
it ends in dust and disarray
   D MajorD
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass,
E minorEm
waves rolling in with the tide
C majorC
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode,
    G+G      D MajorD C majorC G+G C majorC
but we cannot be denied,
      G+G  G+G C majorC
the fire inside

      G+G  G+G C majorC
The fire inside 2x
      G+G
Burning you up 2x

      G+G  G+G C majorC
The fire inside

Solo G+G C majorC x  D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G C majorC
