[VERSE]
Em B
When I was a child, I heard voices...
Em B
Some would sing and some would scream
Em
You soon find you have few choices...
Em
I learned the voices died with me
Em C
When I was a child, I'd sit for hours
Am C B
Staring into open flame
Em C
Something in it had a power,
Am B Em
Could barely tear my eyes away
Em C Em
All you have is your fire...
Em B
And the place you need to reach -
Em G C Em
Don't you ever tame your demons
Em B Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
[INSTRUMENTAL] : Em B C G A Em
[VERSE]
Em C
When I was 16, my senses fooled me
Am C B
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
Em G C
I knew that something would always rule me...
Am B Em
I knew the scent was mine alone
Em C Em
All you have is your fire
Em B
And the place you need to reach
Em G C Em
Don't you ever tame your demons
Em B Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
Em B C
When I was a man I thought it ended
G Am Em
When I knew love's perfect ache
Em B C
But my peace has always depended
G Am Em
On all the ashes in my wake
Em C Em
All you have is your fire,
Em B
And the place you need to reach
Em G C Em
Don't you ever tame your demons
Em B Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
