Hmmm-mmm Hmmmmmmmm

[Verse 1]
F#m B
When I was a child, I heard voices...
A F#m
Some would sing and some would scream
F#m B
You soon find you have few choices..
A F#m
I learned the voices died with me
F#m C#7 D
When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Bm A C#7
Staring into open flames
F#m C#7 D
Something in it - had a power,
Bm C#7 F#m
Could barely tear my eyes away
F#m C#7 Bm
All you have is your fire...
F#m Bm C#7
And the place you need to reach -
F#m C#7 D
Don't you ever, tame your demons
D7 C#7 F#m
But always keep them on a leash
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
F#m C#7 D
When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Bm A C#7
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
F#m C#7 D
I knew that something would always rule me...
Bm C#7 F#m
I knew this sin was mine alone
F#m C#7 Bm
All you have is your fire...
F#m Bm C#7
And the place you need to reach -
F#m C#7 D
Don't you ever, tame your demons
D7 C#7 F#m
But always keep them on a leash
F#m C#7 D
When I was a man I thought it ended
Bm A C#7
Well I knew loves perfect ache
F#m C#7 D
But my peace has always depended
Bm C#7 F#m
On all the ashes in my way
F#m C#7 Bm
All you have is your fire...
F#m Bm C#7
And the place you need to reach -
F#m C#7 D
Don't you ever, tame your demons
D7 C#7 F#m
But always keep them on a leash
