[Verse 1] 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. 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. [Verse 2] 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 3] 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.
