[Intro]
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.
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
[Bridge]
Em      B7        C 
  Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhhmmmm 
G       B7        Em 
  Hmmm mmmh mhhh mhhhmmmm
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
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]
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.
[Chorus]
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.
