[Intro]
Em
When I was a child, I heard voices,
Em B7
Some would sing and some would scream.
Em
You soon find you have few choices,
Em B7 Em
I learned the voices died with me.
[Verse]
Em C
When I was a child, I'd sit for hours,
Am B7
Staring into open flame.
Em C
Something in it had a power,
Am B7 Em
Could barely tear my eyes away.
[Chorus]
Em C Em
All you have is your fire,
Em B7
And the place you need to reach.
Em G6 C Em
Don't you ever tame your demons,
Em B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash.
[Bridge]
Em B7 C
Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhhmmmm
G B7 Em
Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhmmmm
[Verse]
Em G6 C
When I was 16, my senses fooled me
Am C B7
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
Em G6 C
I knew that something would always rule me,
Am B7 Em
I knew this sin was mine alone.
[Chorus]
Em C Em
All you have is your fire,
Em B7
And the place you need to reach.
Em G6 C Em
Don't you ever tame your demons,
Em B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash.
[Verse]
Em B7 C
When I was a man I thought it ended,
G6 Am Em
When I knew love's perfect ache.
Em B7 C
But my peace has always depended
G6 Am Em
On all the ashes in my wake.
[Chorus]
Em C Em
All you have is your fire,
Em B7
And the place you need to reach.
Em G6 C Em
Don't you ever tame your demons,
Em B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash.
