               Em                      D                       C
There's a lightning storm each and every night

               Em             Bm              C
Crashing inside you like motorbikes

       Em                  D          C
We toss and turn sleep so loud

                 Em
Grind the teeth in our

Bm                 C                                  Em
Our empty mouths are empty
Second Verse:
                Em           D           C
There's a forest fire burning bright

                 Em                      Bm          C
Spreading quickly towards our last rites

       Em                D                C
Nowhere to run pointless to hide

              Em                         Bm                   C
Just lay there and scream pretending to try

                     Em
Pretending...
[Chorus]
                      C                              Em
Intending to burn pretending to fight it

D              C                        Em
Everyone learns faster on fire

D                          C             Em
Things took a turn lost all desire

        D                   C              D
You live and you burn

        C                   Em
You live and you burn
Third Verse:
        Em                           D            C
This impending doom is left deep inside

             Em                    Bm                      C
And it's haunting you each and every night

        Em                    D                  C
Like starving wolves drowning sheep

       Em                  Bm                     C
We close our eyes pretending to sleep

                      Em
Descending...
[Chorus]
                   C                              Em
Intending to burn pretending to fight it

D              C                        Em
Everyone learns faster on fire

Things took a turn lost all desire

        D                   C              D
You live and you burn

        C
You live and
[Bridge]
        Em7             G              Cadd9
Like hell we are anxiously waiting

        Em7               G           Cadd9
Like hell burning silently strong

         Em7            G                 Cadd9  D
Somehow we fell down by the wayside

                Cadd9                D
And somehow this hell is home
[Chorus]
           C                              Em
As we burn pretending to fight it

D              C                        Em
Everyone learns faster on fire

D                          C             Em
Things took a turn lost all desire

        D                   C              D
You live and you burn

        C
You live and

Like hell we are anxiously waiting

        Em7               G           Cadd9
Like hell burning silently strong

         Em7            G                 Cadd9  D
Somehow we fell down by the wayside

                Cadd9                D
And somehow this hell is home

          C                         D      Em
Right now this hell is my home
