[Pre-verse]
[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 1
[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.

Verse 2
[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 3
[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.
