Feed The Fire

[Verse 1]

Dm7          C             G                  Dm7  C  G

I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom

        Dm7                C             G                Dm7  C  G

Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines

Dm7         C                   G                         Dm7  C  G

Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon

Dm7              C           G                  Dm7  C  G

Living on champagne in the back of limousines



[Chorus]

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                         Dm7  C  G

Without really knowing why

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                      Dm7  C  G

While hoping that it dies

[Verse 2]

Dm7               C            G                   Dm7  C  G

Trading where I'm at for some future destination

Dm7             C             G                Dm7  C  G

Working for attention I'll eventually resent

Dm7           C                G                   Dm7  C  G

Trying to ignore some of the darker implications

     Dm7             C              G                   Dm7  C  G

Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement



[Chorus]

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                         Dm7  C  G

Without really knowing why

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                      Dm7  C  G

While hoping that it dies

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                         Dm7  C  G

Without really knowing why

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                      Dm7  C  G

While hoping that it dies



[Verse 3]

            Dm7       C                         G                       Dm7  C  G

There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life

             Dm7             C          G                 Dm7  C  G

There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear

       Dm7         C              G                     Dm7  C  G

And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:

                    Dm7           C            G                      G

How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?



[Chorus]

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                         Dm7  C  G

Without really knowing why

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                      Dm7  C  G

While hoping that it dies

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                         Dm7  C  G

Without really knowing why

                    Dm7  C  G

Trying to feed the fire

                      Dm7  C  G

While hoping that it dies

                 Dm7  C  G

Hoping that it dies

                 Dm7  C  G

Hoping that it dies

                 Dm7  C  G

Hoping that it dies



[Outro]
