 Some would sing and some would

 You soon find you have few choices, 
Em             B7                Em 
 I learned the voices died with me.

 Staring into open flame.

 Something in it had a power, 
Am            B7              Em 
 Could barely tear my eyes away.

 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.

 When I was 16, my senses fooled me 
Am            C                  B7 
 Thought gasoline was on my clothes 
Em                           G6    
 I knew that something would always

 rule me,

 When I was a man I thought it ended,
 
 When I was a man I thought it ended,

 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.
