When I was a child, I heard voices
Em G5 B7
Some would sing and some would scream
Em B7 C7+
You soon find you have few choices
Am B7 Em
I learned the voices died with me
Em B7 C7+
When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Em G5 B7
Staring into open flame
Em B7 C7+
Something in it had a power
Am B7 Em
Could barely tear my eyes away
Em B7 C7+
All you have is your fire
Em G5 B7
And the place you need to reach
Em B7 C7+
Don't you ever, tame your demon
Am B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash

When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Em G5 B7
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
Em B7 C7+
I knew that something would always rule me
Am B7 Em
I knew the scent was mine alone
Em B7 C7+
All you have is your fire
Em G5 B7
And the place you need to reach
Em B7 C7+
Don't you ever, tame your demon
Am B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
Em B7 C7+
When I was a man I thought it ended
Em G5 B7
When I knew loves perfect ache
Em B7 C7+
But my peace has always depended
Am B7 Em
On all the ashes in my way
Em B7 C7+
All you have is your fire
Em G5 B7
And the place you need to reach
Em B7 C7+
Don't you ever, tame your demon
Am B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
