Intro: Cm       G       A#        D#     Dm 

Cm      A#               D# 
Good intentions are the best for most engagements 
Cm      A#          D# 
I try hard to stay out of most conversations 
Cm    A#            D# 
I believe that it starts with good intentions 
Cm       A#              D# 
Somehow always ends with obvious accusations 

Cm      A#           G#       D#               Cm 
        I will do my best to try and sort this out 
    A#            G#          D# 
It can't get any worse, than what I've felt 
   
Cm G A#       D#       Dm         Cm 
Whoa, after everything I did for you 
   G A#    D#            Dm 
Whoa, what I thought was fireproof 

C   C# 
        Throw me away at your leisure 
C   C# 
        Why have I noticed your smile 

Cm        A#             D# 
If you're hearing this I want you to remember 
Cm    A#         D# 
I am just a man haunted by past endeavors 
Cm       A#             D# 
And I'll smile and I'll wave for the camera 
Cm        A#            D#                 Cm       A#     D# 
Use me or throw me out, I don't care anymore 
       Cm      A#        D# 
What a whore! 

Cm G A#       D#       Dm         Cm

Whoa, what I thought was fireproof 

C    C# 
        Throw me away at your leisure 
C    C# 
        Why have I noticed your smile 
C    C# 
        My fire burns from the inside 
C    C# 
        From my insides out 

Cm          A#                        Cm 
You can't change the consequences of treason 
            A#                              Cm 
Time won't fade the scars you left for no reason 
            A#                         Cm 
You can't change the consequences of treason 
            A#                             Cm 
Time won't fade the scars you left for no reason 

                              A# 
How can you turn your back on me 
       D#         Dm 
After everything I did for you? 
Cm             G         A# 
How could you burn so easily 
     D#                Dm 
What I thought was fireproof? 
C    C# (x4) 
        No! 

C 

                       G# 
From the bottom of my heart 
              A#                               Cm                     G# 
I want you to know that you have only made me stronger, whoa 
                        A#                        Cm                  G# 
And from the top of my lungs I will scream this louder, whoa 
                   A#                      Cm                         G# 
If there's anyone out there who feels the same as I do, as we do 
              A#                 Cm 
Then sing with me and make this true 

Cm 
I pushed too hard 
All my friends said I was making mistakes 
But I followed my heart (I followed my heart) 
Even when it led me the wrong way 
I went too far 
All my friends said I was making mistakes 
But I follow my heart 
Even when it leads me the wrong way 

Spoken:  Cm   G       A#      D#      Dm   (until the end) 

I am the man that has seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. 
He has led me, and brought me into darkness, but not into light. 
Surely against me is he turned; he turns his hand against me all the day. 
My flesh and my skin has he made old; he has broken my bones. 

He has built against me, and compassed me with gall and travail. 
He has set me in dark places, as they that be dead of old. 
He has hedged me about, that I cannot get out: he has made my chain heavy. 
Also when I cry and shout, he shuts out my prayer. 

He has enclosed my ways with hewn stone, he has made my paths crooked. 
He was to me as a bear lying in wait, and as a lion in secret places. 
He has turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces: he has made me desolate. 
He has bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow. 

He has caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins. 
I was a derision to all my people; and their song all the day. 
He has filled me with bitterness, he has made me drunken with wormwood
