Arsonists Lullaby

	  		


B  F#       B       F#m            Bb  E    F# 
       When I was a child, I heard voices, 
E                                        F# 
Some would sing and some would scream. 
E          F#m    A    G     F#       B 
You soon find you have few choices, 
                A    B              G   Db 
I learned the voices died with me. 
  F#       B        F#m      A       D        B 
      When I was a child I'd sit for hours, 
      A           Db     F# 
Staring into open flames. 
                  A       D    B 
Something in it had a power, 
             Db           F# 
Could barely tear my eyes away. 

 

F#m                          D 
        All you have is your fire, 
F#m                               Db     A 
        And the place you need to reach. 
F#m               A      D               F#m   A 
        Don't you ever, tame your demons, 
F#m                 Db        F#m 
        Always keep them on a leash.

 
(humming) 
When i was 16 my senses fooled me, 
Thought gasoline was on my clothes. 
I knew that something would always rule me, 
I knew this sin was mine alone. 
All you have is your fire, 
And the place you need to reach. 
Don't you ever, tame your demons, 
Always keep them on a leash. 
When I was a man I thought it ended, 
Well I knew loves perfect ache 
But my peace has always depended, 
on all the ashes in my way 
All you have is your fire, 
And the place you need to reach. 
Don't you ever, tame your demons, 
Always keep them on a leash.
