verse 1 

Em 
When I was a child, I heard voices, 
Em                             B7 
Some would sing and some would scream. 
Em 
You soon find you have few choices, 
Em            B7               Em 
I learned the voices died with me. 

Em                              C 
When I was a child, I'd sit for hours, 
Am                B7 
Staring into open flame. 
Em                    C 
Something in it had a power, 
Am           B7               Em 
Could barely tear my eyes away. 


[Refrão]

Em                   C   Em 
All you have is your fire, 
Em                        B7 
And the place you need to reach. 
Em        G6   C         Em 
Don't you ever tame your demons, 
Em         B7            Em 
But always keep 'em on a leash. 

verse 2 

Em                G6     C 
When I was 16, my senses fooled me 
Am      C                  B7 
Thought gasoline was on my clothes 
Em                          G6     C 
I knew that something would always rule me, 
Am          B7                Em 
I knew this sin was mine alone. 


[Refrão]

Em                   C   Em 
All you have is your fire, 
Em                        B7 
And the place you need to reach. 
Em        G6   C         Em 
Don't you ever tame your demons, 
Em         B7            Em 
But always keep 'em on a leash. 


verse 3 

Em           B7               C 
When I was a man I thought it ended, 
G6     Am                  Em 
When I knew love's perfect ache. 
Em               B7        C 
But my peace has always depended 
G6         Am          Em 
On all the ashes in my wake.

Em                   C   Em 
All you have is your fire, 
Em                        B7 
And the place you need to reach. 
Em        G6   C         Em 
Don't you ever tame your demons, 
Em         B7            Em 
But always keep 'em on a leash.
