[Verse 1]
Em                     G       C
This is the sound of a soul in tune
       Em                   G         C
To the selfish desire for a soul mate who
       Em                   G      C
It's a selfish desire for a soul untamed
      Em                   G       C
That definitive cry in the present age

[Pre-Chorus]
              G
Do I throw my clothes in the fire?
              C
Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
                Em
Do those things grow in the fire
   G                    C
Or burn just to keep me compliant?
              G
Can you still show me a way?
              C
Can you still show me a life?
             Em
'Cause I was only a kid
       C                  G
When I felt you tossed me aside, hey

[Chorus]

What can I do if the fire goes out?

'Cause I don't know if I can live without

[Verse 2]
         Em                  G       C
I want a taste to see if the Lord is good
          Em                          G    C
I want to know if I'm hurt and if I'm understood
           Em                    G      C
See if the selfish desire's some stupid thing
   Em                       G    C
Or heaven desires something deep within

[Pre-Chorus]
             G
Do I throw my clothes in the fire?
              C
Do I throw my hopes in the fire?
                Em
Do those things grow in the fire
   G                    C
Or burn just to keep me compliant?
              G
Can you still show me a way?
              C
Can you still show me a life?
             Em
'Cause I was only a kid
       C                  G
When I felt you left me behind, oh
