Poets of the Fall – Fire (Guitar)

FIRE
As recorded by the Poets Of The Fall

Em                                            A
It's a bit like a trip, but you hit it with a slip of a tongue

A
Like a whip, and we're sinking

Em                                                  A
It ain't cool to be cool, though you may think it a laudable tool

           Em                   A
Of self evaluation, of ego cultivation

Em                                              A
And I'm rolling my eyes like the stones for the lies

                           Em      A             Em   A
Is it really all about the size or just a simple vice

Em                   A
Oh, and it makes the news

E
Oh, ’cause it sings the blues

           Em   A
I feel the fire flare alight inside me

C       D        A
Higher, so I can see

     Em          A
And aspire to survive this fight in spite of

C     D        A
Liars and travesty

    E     Em  A
Oh, fire

Em                                                     A
Did you think that I'd blink, that I'd go and take the ink to your control

                 Em
That I'd sell my soul

Em
And does it ring any bells that it sells

           A                                E
That we're living out of shells in a shotgun

               A                   E
If we couldn't shoot, we'd have to run

    A
And finally the cerebral fantasy

E                                        A
Better genes and machines, so we can die looking like we're teens

     E                  A
Like snapshot scenes in smithereens

E
Oh, and the ones we choose

E
Oh, witch hunting fools

Em    A
Fire, flare alight inside me

C       D        A
Higher, so I can see

      Em         A
And aspire to survive this fight in spite of

C     D        A
Liars and travesty

    Em
Oh, fire

Em                           A     
Oh, there it is in the news again

                                       Em                                                  
Look, there it goes singing the blues again (yeah)

Em                           A     
Oh, there it is in the news again

                                       Em                                                  
Look, there it goes singing the blues again (yeah)

                         A             
There it is in the news again

                                       Em    
Look, there it goes singing the blues again

                         A             
There it is in the news again

                                       Em    
Look, there it goes singing the blues again

                         A             
There it is in the news again

                                       Em    
Look, there it goes singing the blues again

Em    A
Fire, flare alight inside me

C       D        A
Higher, so I can see

      Em         A
And aspire to survive this fight in spite of

C     D        A
Liars and travesty

    Em
Oh, fire

Em      A                                    
Fire, return my joy, ’cause I'm so

C      D        A    
Tired, tired of me

  Em        A                        
Inspire the weary eyed to see the

C   D      A             
Ire and irony

    E   
Oh, fire
