Em B7 C7M
When I was a child, I heard voices
Em G5 B7
Some would sing and some would scream
Em B7 C7M
You soon find you have few choices
Am B7 Em
I learned the voices died with me
Em B7 C7M
When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Em G5 B7
Staring into open flame
Em B7 C7M
Something in it had a power
Am B7 Em
Could barely tear my eyes away
Em B7 C7M
All you have is your fire
Em G5 B7
And the place you need to reach
Em B7 C7M
Don't you ever, tame your demon
Am B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
Em B7 C7M
When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Em G5 B7
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
Em B7 C7M
I knew that something would always rule me
Am B7 Em
I knew the scent was mine alone
Em B7 C7M
All you have is your fire
Em G5 B7
And the place you need to reach
Em B7 C7M
Don't you ever, tame your demon
Am B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
Em B7 C7M
When I was a man I thought it ended
Em G5 B7
When I knew loves perfect ache
Em B7 C7M
But my peace has always depended
Am B7 Em
On all the ashes in my way
Em B7 C7M
All you have is your fire
Em G5 B7
And the place you need to reach
Em B7 C7M
Don't you ever, tame your demon
Am B7 Em
But always keep 'em on a leash
