Intro: Am C G F E7

                   Am
You try to hold me down So I became a soldier
                   C
Built up all these walls And now Iʼm climbing over
            G
Those nasty bees Are tempting me
             F            E7
Oh Lord but I ainʼt going back
                  Am
You take me for a fool,that doesnʼt Make me foolish
              C
Told me I was wrong Passion made you ruthless
       G
Manipulate Its just too late
              F               E7
Oh Lord, but I ainʼt going back no more
E7
Your fueling of the flames Gonna show you what Iʼm made of

Chorus:
Am
Breakinʼ every chain That you put on me
C
You thought I wouldnʼt change but I grew on you
G
ʼCause I will never be what you wanted this
F            E7
Fire, this fire is keepinʼ me alive
Am
Makinʼ me believe I couldnʼt do without you
C
Make it hard to leave,You think itʼs all about you
G
You know Iʼll never be what you wanted This
F         E7
Fire, this fire

Am
I tried to get this weight Off of my shoulders
C
Built up all my strength Iʼm finally takinʼ over
G
Complicate I donʼt appreciate
 F                 E7
Oh Lord, but I ainʼt going back no more
E7
Your fueling of the flames gonna show you what Iʼm made of

Chorus:
Am
Breakinʼ every chain That you put on me
C
You thought I wouldnʼt change but I grew on you
G
ʼCause I will never be what you wanted this
F          E7
Fire, this fire is keepinʼ me alive
Am
Makinʼ me believe I couldnʼt do without you
C
Make it hard to leave,You think itʼs all about you
G
You know Iʼll never be what you wanted
F             E7
This fire, this fire
              Am
Is keeping me alive
              C
Is keeping me alive
              G
