[Em]
Give me the flammable [D#] life
Cold as [G] a match
Ready [C#] to strike
So [C] here [Em]

It ain't [G] no longer
The awesome [C#m] in this choir
[C] Now here [Em]
I go
[E] [F#]
[G] [C#m] It started [A] with a spark
[E] [F#]
[G] Then [C#m] [A] burned into the [C] dark
Now [Em] here [A] I go
[Em] There is a river [D#] I found
Into [G] the wild
Under [C#m] the ground
[C] Out [E] here I [A] go

[Em] For [A] what's come before
[C] So here [Em]
I [A] go
[E] Oh, [F#]
[G] [E] [F#] [G] [E] [Em]
[G] [E] [C#] [E] sweet English [F#] should be [G] my [E] muse
I've no [F#] choice but to [G] choose
[E] I bid farewell to [G] [E] yesterday
The secret [F#] I'll follow
[G] [E] I knew it all along
[G] Because [E] I had to be
What never [G] [E] was
It's so hard when [G] I can [E] lie
Cause I was a
[G] No [E] one had to ask you
If my money had
Each pound of bones above me
Watched them in the muddy water
Looking for a dime to find a quarter
You ain't gonna make me change my name
Never make me change my name They don't
Why I
