[Pre-verse]
[Em] [G6] [A(add9)]
When I was a child, I heard voices,
[Am(add9)] [B7]
Some would sing and some would scream.
[Em] [G6] [A(add9)]
You soon find you have few choices,
[Am(add9)] [Asus2] [Em]
I learned the voices died with me.
Verse 1
[Em] [G6] [Cmaj7]
When I was a child I'd sit for hours,
[Asus2] [Cmaj7] [B7]
Staring into open flames.
[Em] [G6] [Cmaj7]
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.
[Em] [G6] [Cmaj7]
Don't you ever, taaaame your demons,
[Asus2] [B7] [Em]
Always keep them on a leash.

Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhmmmm
Verse 2
[Em] [G6] [Cmaj7]
When i was 16 my senses fooled me,
[Em] [G] [B7]
Thought gasoline was on my clothes.
[Em] [G6] [Cmaj7]
I knew that something would always rule me,
[Asus2] [B7] [Em]
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.
Verse 3
[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
[Em] [G6] [Cmaj7]
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.
