G                  C               D 
I've spent my life trying to understand 
G                       C       D 
Just how my life led to where I am 
C      D                    C 
But it leaves a bitter taste 
    D                 G 
And feels like such a waste 

 Bm     C       D 
I am so totally vague 
           G    Bm    C        D 
Betray the dark line, see if I care 
  G     Bm  C          D 
I loved you when I was young 
       G 
But no more 
Am C             D         G 
So burn down the fireman's fair 

intro x2 

G                C         D 
Memory plays its tricks on me 
   G              C          D 
In my mind's eye, I claim to see 
C          D               C 
I'm losing every race I run 
       D             G 
Making misery out of fun 

Bm C            D 
So bulldoze the new road  
        G  Bm 
they're driving 
C                 D 
Slash the beanbag chair 
    G    Bm     C       D 
You held me for so very long 
       G 
But no more 
Am C             D         G 
So burn down the fireman's fair 

intro x2 

F                G 
How many type of things do we think we need? 
F                          G 
But that doesn't make them true 
F                       G 
I'm a little afraid I'm falling far and free 
F                     G  Bm C D 
I'll leave that up to you 
             G  Bm C D 
That's up to you 

             G    Bm C       D 
So won't you find me totally vague 
            G  Bm C        D 
A drain has died, see if I care 
  G     Bm  C          D 
I loved you when I was young 
       G 
But no more 
Am C             D         G   Bm C D 
So burn down the fireman's fair 
          G   Bm  
Fireman's fair 
C             D         G   Bm C D 
Burn down the fireman's fair 
          G   Bm 
Fireman's fair 
C             D         F     
Burn down the fireman's fair
