[Pre-verse]
Em              G              C
   When I was a child, I heard voices,

Em                                B7
   Some would sing and some would scream.

Em          G                 C
   You soon find you have few choices,

Em               B7               Em
   I learned the voices died with me.
[Verse 1]
Em              G                 C
   When I was a child I'd sit for hours,

Am         C         B7
   Staring into open flames.

Em           G           C
   Something in it had a power,

Am              B7           Em
   Could barely tear my eyes away.
[Chorus]
Em         G            C      Em
   All you have is your fire,

Em         G                 B7
   And the place you need to reach.

Em           G     C                    Em
   Don't you ever, taaaame your demons,

Em        B7             Em
   Always keep them on a leash.
[Humming]
Em      B7        C
   Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhhmmmm

G       Am        Em
   Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhmmmm
[Verse 2]
Em            G            C
   When I was 16 my senses fooled me,

Am             C              B7
   Thought gasoline was on my clothes.

Em                 G                  C
   I knew that something would always rule me,

Am             B7           Em
   I knew this sin was mine alone.
[Chorus]
Em         G            C       Em
   All you have is your fire,

Em         G                 B7
   And the place you need to reach.

Em           G     C                    Em
   Don't you ever, taaaame your demons,

Em        B7             Em
   Always keep them on a leash.
[Verse 3]
Em              B7               C
   When I was a man I thought it ended,

G         Am                  Em
   Well I knew love's perfect ache

Em                  B7     C
   But my peace has always depended,

G             Am          Em
   on all the ashes in my wake
[Chorus]
Em         G            C       Em
   All you have is your fire,

Em         G                 B7
   And the place you need to reach.

Em           G     C                     Em
   Don't you ever, taaaame your demons,

Em        B7             Em
   Always keep them on a leash.
