Fire Chords

[Verse 1]
G                Em     C            G
It seemed like everyone I knew was dying
G                Em        C         G
I looked in the mirror and I was on fire
G          Em               C              G
Somebody yelled out "Hey, stop, drop, and roll!"
G                           Em           C            G
I said "That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul
G                   Em           C             G
That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul"
 
 
[Verse 2]
G            Em            C       G
You swallow hard and you bottle it up
G          Em            C         G
Try to pretend you're a half full cup
G                     Em              C        G
Believe what they're feeding, you're eating it up
G                  Em          C               G
While I'm reading books about how they're corrupt
G            Em          C              G
I'm reading books about how they're corrupt
 
 
[Chorus]
D               C                    G
He says he protecting us but he's a liar
D            C              G
I know deep down that it's down to the wire
D               C        G
My heart will stop if I put out the fire
D                C
As long as I'm burning
D                C
I'll keep on yearning
D             C
To save the world
C         D             C
Not sure how but I'm learning
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                Em         C         G
Since what they call the beginning of man
G               Em           C           G
Blood has been shed for the rape of the land
G            Em         C          G
They call it civilized, I call it crap
G         Em          C            G
Our only hope is to look further back
G         Em          C            G
Our only hope is to look further back
 
[Verse 4]
G            Em             C            G
If we really want for this world to survive
G                Em          C          G
We'll just take what we need to stay alive
G          Em           C            G
It's a mistake to just take and not give
G              Em           C        G
It's not true that we must murder to live
G              Em           C         G
It's not true that we must murder to live
 
 
[Chorus]
D               C                    G
He says he protecting us but he's a liar
D            C              G
I know deep down that it's down to the wire
D               C        G
My heart will stop if I put out the fire
D                C
As long as I'm burning
D                C
I'll keep on yearning
D             C
To save the world
C         D             C
Not sure how but I'm learning
 
[Verse 5]
G                Em             C            G
And telling the truth the best way that I'm able
G           Em            C          G
Placing my cards all face up on the table
G                Em                   C           G
It's okay to be scared, you don't have to act tough
G              Em           C        G
Take all that pain and turn it into love
G              Em           C        G
Take all that pain and turn it into love
 
[Verse 6]
G              Em          C            G
And let your emotions be fuel to your flame
G         Em        C         G
Being on fire will keep you awake
G            Em               C              G
If somebody yells out "Hey, stop, drop, and roll!"
G                        Em           C             G
Say "That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul
G                   Em           C             G
That might save my skin, but it won't save my soul"
