Chords:

  Em
A fire’s gotta burn     
    Em
The world is gonna turn         
  Em
A rain has gotta fall           
Em
Fate is gonna call              
    C
But I just keep on breathing 
Am
Long as my heart is beating     

Em
Someone's gotta hate            
     Em
It's never gonna change     
     Em
Gets harder everyday            
            Em
This is one hell of a place 
C
Keep your heart from freezing   
   Am
To keep yourself believing    

    C
But I won't run 
    C
I'm not afraid  
     Am
I'll look em in the eye 
(pause)
Gonna hear me say  
It's...

Chorus:
Em        Em         Em            Em       
  My life,   My love,   My sex, My drug, My lust
C           C
  My god it ain't no sin
Am              Am
  Can I get it, Can I get an Amen
Em          Em            Em              Em       
   My grace,   My church,     My pain, My tears, My hurt
C              C
  My god, I'll say it again
Am              Am
  Can I get it, Can I get an Amen
(drums)
Can I get it.  Can I get an Amen?  (x2)

Em
Life has gotta kill         
Em
Faith is gonna blind
Em
Hope is gonna fade
    Em
The truth is gonna lie
C
Sometimes there's no ^reason  
   Am
To justify the ^meaning       

    C
But I won't run             
    C
I'm not ashamed
     Am
It's ^gonna ^take ^more than ^this for ^me to ^break  

Chorus:  

(drums)
Can I get it, Can I get an Amen? (x2)

Solo:  Em Em Em Em C C Am D

Just drums and solo.
My Life, My Love, My sex, My drug, My luuuussstt

Chorus:


--------------------

Alternately, the chorus, with melody line is below (x2):  
Note:  This sounds better to drop the first section an octave (drop-D tuning, unles you have a 7-string ;-)).


   Em    Em    Em      Em      C    C   Am     Am

  In drop D, it would be:

   Em    Em    Em      Em      C    C   Am     Am
