When I was a child, I heard voices,

Staring into open flames.

Something in it had a power,
Asus2 B7 Em
Could barely tear my eyes away.
[Chorus]
Em G6 Cmaj7
All you have is your fire,
Em G B7
And the place you need to reach.

Don't you ever, taaaame your demons,
Asus2 B7 Em
Always keep them on a leash.

When i was 16 my senses fooled me,
Em G B7
Thought gasoline was on my clothes.

I knew that something would always rule me,

I knew this sin was mine alone.
[Chorus]
Em G6 Cmaj7
All you have is your fire,
Em G B7
And the place you need to reach.

Don't you ever, taaame your demons,
Asus2 B7 Em
Always keep them on a leash.

Em G6 Cmaj7
When I was a man I thought it ended,
Em G B7
Well I knew loves perfect ache
Em G6 Cmaj7
But my peace has always depended,
Asus2 B7 Em
on all the ashes in my wake
[Chorus]

All you have is your fire,
Em G B7
And the place you need to reach.
Em G6 Cmaj7
Don't you ever, taaaame your demons,
Asus2 B7 Em
Always keep them on a leash.
