Verse 1:
E minorEm C# minorC#m
G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Like wildfire
C# minorC#m
It starts in my chest
BB E MajorE
The silence grows louder
A augmentedA
Ringing out in my head
C# minorC#m A augmentedA C# minorC#m
I feel the Earth shaking under my feet
BB E MajorE A augmentedA
I feel the pressure building until I can't breathe
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
And it takes everything
Chorus:
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
It all spills out
C# minorC#m BB E MajorE
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
A augmentedA
Like kerosene on the flame of doubt
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
I couldn't make it right
C# minorC#m F# minorF#m
Alarms will sound
C# minorC#m G# minorG#m E MajorE
But it's too late for holy water now
A augmentedA
Sooner or later the fire dies down
C# minorC#m
I'll open up my eyes
Verse 2:
A augmentedA F# minorF#m E MajorE
And I'll try and find the image of God
A augmentedA F# minorF#m A augmentedA F# minorF#m BB
In mountains made of ash and clouds of smoke
A augmentedA
It's fight or flight
BB E MajorE
Buried in my mind
C# minorC#m A augmentedA
It's fight or flight
BB A augmentedA C# minorC#m
It keeps my mind cold
Chorus:
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
But I feel it break
C# minorC#m BB
With just one misstep down a fire escape
A augmentedA
And suddenly I'm someone that prays
C# minorC#m
A augmentedA last minute man of faith
F# minorF#m BB
But I'll leave behind miles and miles of jagged lines
A augmentedA
Upon the surface of the Divine
C# minorC#m BB
I wish I could set them straight
C# minorC#m
Till it all spills out
F# minorF#m G# minorG#m
Reckless but honest words leave my mouth
BB A augmentedA
Like kerosene on the flame of doubt
C# minorC#m
I just couldn't make it right
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Alarms will sound
C# minorC#m BB
But it's too late for holy water now
A augmentedA
Sooner or later the fire dies down
C# minorC#m
In my eyes again
