x and . are equal 1/8s;

x = accentuation
( ) = play muted

listen to the song and you’ll know what i mean

play all verses and the bridge with this pattern and “unmute” the accentuated notes in the bridge .
strum in the chorus .

each noted chord stands for the beginning of a new bar ( not in the chorus ) .

verse 1 :

E5 E5
silver bullet in the wild blue
C#5 C#5
crack in the walls i’m coming through
E5 E5 C#5 – C#5
think you can stop me , well take a look in these eyes

verse 2 :

E5 E5
you can’t cage what you can’t tame
C#5 C#5
there ain’t no rules , this ain’t a game
E5 E5 C#5 – C#5
there’s no way to stop the fire inside

bridge :

E5 E5
you can escape the pouring rain
A5 A5
you can run for shelter in a hurricane
E5 E5
change your face , lose your name
A5 A5
lie about things you can’t explain
B5 B5 A5 | A5
but there’s one thing that you cannot deny

chorus 1 :

E A
the fire inside , the fire inside
C#m B
you can’t run from what’s in your blood and you can’t hide
A E5 | E5
from the fire inside , the fire inside

verse 3 :

E5 E5
tonight i’ll run i need no sleep
C#5 C#5
when it feels this good you’re in too deep
E5 E5 C#5 C#5
in blood i’m gonna write my name , cover my tracks i feel no shame
B5 B5 A5 | A5
just let ’em try and stop the fire inside

chorus 2 :

E A
the fire inside , the fire inside
C#m B
you can’t run from what’s in your blood and you can’t hide
E A
the fire inside , the fire inside
C#m B
it’s the only way you know you’re still alive
A
the fire inside , the fire inside

rhythm guitar solo :

E | E | A | A | C#m | C#m | B | B | Asus2 – A | Asus2 – A |

E5 E5
there’s no place for me in heaven
C#5 C#5
tonight i just might die
E5 E5
there’ll be no one to hold my hand
C#5 C#5
for me no one will cry
B5 B5 A5 A5
there’ll be no forgiveness but i’ll never deny

chorus 3 :

E A
the fire inside , the fire inside
C#m B
you can’t run from what’s in your blood and you can’t hide
E A
the fire inside , the fire inside
C#m B
it’s the only way you know you’re still alive
E A
the fire inside , the fire inside
C#m B
the fire inside , the fire inside
E A
it’s the fire inside , the fire inside
C#m B
it’s the fire inside , the fire inside
