Em D Em D
Running away, I knew I was wrong
Em D Em D
I´d tried to fit in where I didn't belong
Em D Em D
Wearing their clothes, playing their games
Em D Em D
Being a part of that urban decay
CHORUS:
Em D C D Em D C D
Don't burn the fires, I'm never coming home (2x)
Repeat INTRO
Em D Em D
When the morning sky was cold and grey
Em D Em D
I could hear the whispers of my own mistakes
Em D Em D
Those warning eyes, that final touch
Em D Em D
No one seemed to care that much
CHORUS:
Em D C D Em D C D
Don't burn the fires, I'm never coming home (2x)

Em D
And when I'd reached my destination
Em D
I thought someday I might return
Em D
Cause deep inside was the need
Em D
to feel the home fires burn
Em D
But a faltering voice merely whispered my name
Em D
as if we'd never expected to hear it again,
Em D
and my heart grew cold to that indifferent sound
Em D Em D
as I slowly laid the receiver down
Em D C
Don't burn the fires,
Don't burn the fires
Don't burn the fires
Em
I'm never coming home
(+SOLO)
Em D C
Don't burn the fires,
Don't burn the fires
Don't burn the fires
Em
I'm never coming home!
