Atreyu – Slow Burn (Guitar)

Dm
It begins with a dark, glowing ember

F                                      Bb
Something black burning its way out of me

                               A
Searing the flesh, pain is the only thing I feel

              Dm
Scars, all I see

Dm
Oh, no, the fire's burning my insides again

F                                    Bb
What can I do to silence my desire tonight?

Bb
Flames consuming reason, leaving only ashes left

A
You will catch me regretting my decision

Bb           G
I can't keep telling myself

Dm                        F         Bb
What I want to hear (What I want to hear)

             A
I can't just close my eyes

Dm               C
I know that it's killing me

         Bb            C
And it's poisoning the best of me

     Dm                  C
What I see, I don't want to believe

          Bb
So let me tell you more, tell you more

          A
About the lies I lead

Dm
That is how I chose to douse the flames in gasoline

F                                                Bb
Broken teeth replace the blackout memories in my head

Bb
Wreckage from the past haunts me, shakes me to the bone (To the bone)

A                                       Dm
I know it’s over, but I can’t go home tonight

Dm
But after this, I feel as empty as the night before

F                                            Bb
Feel the pain, and yet I’m still begging for more

Bb
Masochistic, nihilistic, urging backward thought

C                            A
My life’s a mess and I can’t find a way to fix it

Bb           G
I can't keep telling myself

Dm                        F         Bb
What I want to hear (What I want to hear)

             A
I can't just close my eyes

Dm               C
I know that it's killing me

         Bb            C
And it's poisoning the best of me

     Dm                  C
What I see, I don't want to believe

          Bb
So let me tell you more, tell you more

          A
About the lies I lead

Dm                            C
Calling, calling out (Calling out)

    G
The darkest reaches of my soul

    Dm
Are riddled with self-doubt

                   C
Crawling, crawling out

   G                  Dm
My will to fight will more than suffice

                          A
When others would lay down

A                               Dm
It’s only as dark as you make it

Dm
I know (I know)

          C
That it's killing me (It's killing me)

         Bb
And it's poisoning (It's poisoning)

    C
The best of me (The best of me)

     Dm
What I see (What I see)

             C
I don't want to believe (Want to believe)

          Bb
So let me tell you more, tell you more

          A
About the lies I lead
