verse 1
Em
I've been staring at the edge too long

When I trouble trust in the person I become

But I know the painful truth

Burn what you need of me
Am Em F#
I'll give you a fire to light your soul

Then leave me to die
F# Am Em
The fire's grown out of control, out of control

I've got the world weighing down my chest

But I'm still shoveling dirt right on my back

To keep me from ever getting up
