Intro:
 Em    G  | A7  :


Verse 1:
Em              G               A7
 Now here we go, this is who we are
Em              G                A7
 On a dead-end road in a stolen car
 Em                G
Burning daylight, bathed in starlight
  A7
Scared of all the in between
  Em              G
Starting fires, chasing monsters
 A7
Running from the things I've seen

 I keep my fire to the fuse so I'm never scared of burning out
Em           G                 A7
 I keep on breaking loose until I'm breaking down
              Em          G
Can you hear me? Arе you near me?
          A7
Does it phasе you? Do you fear me?

Do you need me? Can you feed me?

I'm burning everything around me

From the start to the time I react
