[Verse 1]
Bm G D
It was good to be there in the bright lights, mmm
Bm G D
But I lost good friends under the spotlight, woah
Bm G D
Imagine if everybody knew your name
Bm G D
But they had nothing nice to say, nothing nice to say
Bm G D
It was good to be living up the high life, woah
Bm G D
But the comedown's harder in the headlines, woah
Bm G D
Everybody tells you, you should play the game
Bm G D
But there's only you to play, there's only you to play
Em G
But I tried
[Chorus]
Bm
I set fire to the glory
G
I set fire to the dream
D
I set fire to the only thing
A
That led me from the streets
Bm G
Don't tell me it's over, cause I don't want to believe
D A
Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
Bm
The truth sets me free
[Verse 2]
Bm G D
I broke my back to make a breakthrough, mmm
Bm G D
I lost my mind, look what it came to, oh
Bm G D
I had to lose it all so I could understand, woah
Bm G D
I was just a boy in the shadow of a man
[Chorus]
Bm
I set fire to the glory
G
I set fire to the dream
D
I set fire to the only thing
A
That led me from the streets
Bm G
Don't tell me it's over, cause I don't want to believe
D A
Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
Em Bm
Oh, the truth sets me free
Em G
Oh, the truth sets me free
[Chorus]
Bm
I set fire to the glory
G
I set fire to the dream
D
I set fire to the only thing
A
That led me from the streets
Bm
Don't tell me it's over
G
I don't want to believe
D A
Cause now I've opened my eyes and I have found a way to breathe
Bm G
Oh, the truth sets me free
D A
Oh, the truth sets me free
Bm G
Oh, the truth sets me free
D A
Oh, the truth sets me free
Bm
It sets me free
