[Intro]
Em C Em C Em

[Verse]
Am Em
It's more than a need, more than desire
Am Em
It's more like a slow, heartbreaking fire
G D Em
Gone up in smoke in a coal red sky

[Verse]
Am Em
Doesn't it strike you a little odd
Am Em
That something so wrong could feel like god?
G D Em D
It's gone up in smoke in a coal red sky

[Chorus]
C G
Fires burn and now I know
D Em
I've faced the devil toe to toe
C G
How many nights did I waste
D Em C Em C Em
How many years for just a taste?

[Verse]
Am Em
It's like a cancer round your spine
Am Em
Then it can seem your best lifeline
G D Em D
Gone up in smoke in a coal red sky

[Chorus]
C G
Fires burn and now I know
D Em
I've faced the devil toe to toe
C G
How many nights did I waste
D Em
How many years for just a taste?

[Bridge]
G
Here I sit with open hands
C
Here I wait without a plan
G
No one tells you when you start
Em C Em C Em
“Kid this stuff will break your heart”
