Em G C You soon find you have few choices, Am Em I learned the voices died with me. [Verse 1] Em G C When I was a child I'd sit for hours, Am C B7 Staring into open flames. Em G C Something in it had a power, Am B7 Em Could barely tear my eyes away. [Chorus] Em G C All you have is your fire, Em G B7 And the place you need to reach. Em G C Don't you ever, taaaame your demons, Am B7 Em Always keep them on a leash.

Em G C Don't you ever, taaaame your demons, Am B7 Em Always keep them on a leash. [Verse 3] Em G C When I was a man I thought it ended, Em G B7 Well I knew love's perfect ache Em G C But my peace has always depended, Am B7 Em on all the ashes in my way [Chorus] Em G C All you have is your fire, Em G B7 And the place you need to reach. Em G C Don't you ever, taaaame your demons, Am B7 Em Always keep them on a leash.
