Intro: F#m A E B     F#m A E B   


Verse: 
 A              B   A                  B 
Are you lying there on the cold dark ground 
 C#m                                              
Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound 
 A                  B    A                         B 
What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time 
 C#m 
What do you want so bad that you have never had 
 A                B   A                       B 
Could it be dangerous to light the flame and just 
C#m 
Feel the warmth again make it rise again 
  A                 B    A                  B 
Remember your last time you tried to let it in 
     C#m 
It scorched the walls, torched the halls 
                        F#m  
And then it melted your skin 


Chorus: 
 F#m             A 
Like a preacher save you from the fire 
E                B 
I won’t let you burn 
F#m               A                 
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher 
E                B   F#m  A  E 
I won’t let you burn 
                 B 
I won’t let you burn 


Verse: 
 A                   B    A                         B 
The feelings you repress the thoughts you don’t confess 
C#m 
They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart 
 A               B    A                  B 
You recklessly adore the idols keeping score 
C#m 
But no-one ever wins they just start the game again 
 A                       B    A                       B 
You chose the cross you bare and pick the chains you wear 
C#m 
Your heavens in your mind your hells a valentine 
 A                  B    A                 B 
Come closer now express this longing so divine 
C#m                                                  F#m 
On your knees be blessed let it possess you one more time 


Chorus: 
 F#m             A 
Like a preacher save you from the fire 
E                B 
I won’t let you burn 
F#m              A                 
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher 
E                B    
I won’t let you burn
