Intro G  C/G  (4x) 

     C                 Am7                      G 
The sun is sinking and I'm still dragging this bag of bones 
        C                      Am7                    G 
Like a homesick beggar with a rockstar swagger and a heart of stone 

    Em 
My feet are on the riverbed 
   C/G 
My hands are far from innocent 
     Dadd9/A      D7 
Have mercy on my soul 


G         C/G            G      Dadd9/A 
Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. 
C/G                 Em         Dadd9/A   C/G  (keep playing the chord for 4 bars) 
I want to dance on fire and be born     again 
                                           G   
I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead 



Intro G  C/G  (2x) 


     C                           Am7                        G 
Well everything changes and the colors start fading and the stars go dim 
         C                             Am7                         G 
And the clock keeps ticking while the rattlesnake's shaking as it sheds its skin 

           Em  
Kill your heart and never take a chance 
        C/G 
Lock it up inside a picket fence 
      Dadd9/A        D7 
The illusions of control 



G         C/G            G      Dadd9/A 
Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. 
C/G                 Em         Dadd9/A   C/G  (keep playing the chord for 4 bars) 
I want to dance on fire and be born     again 
                                           G   
I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead 



Interlude Em  G  Em  G  Em  C/G (do a little whooing over it) 



G         C/G            G      Dadd9/A 
Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. 
C/G                 Em         Dadd9/A   C/G 
I want to dance on fire and be born     again 
G         C/G            G      Dadd9/A 
Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. 
C/G                 Em         Dadd9/A   C/G  (keep playing the chord for 4 bars) 
I want to dance on fire and be born     again 
                                           G   
I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead
