Icon For Hire - Up In Flames

Intro:
G#m E C#m
(4x)

G#m B C#m

Verse 1:
G#m
I don’t wanna say what i got on my mind
B C#m
‘cause nothing tonight wants to come out on time
G#m
The truth is i’d rather sit out and unwind
B C#m
Let somebody else tell their story this time
G#m
I wonder what happened to give me the right
B C#m
To step on a platform and pick up a mic
G#m
And tell you the way to be living your life
B C#m
‘cause all my credentials are lies

Pre-Chorus:

E
You’ve had your say
C#m
Now take your seat
E
I know my place
F#
You don’t know me

Chorus:

G#m D#m E
I’ll probably end up in flames before the end of the night
C#m B
Watch me burn in the fire, watch me bid you goodbye
G#m D#m E
Your words fall right off the page like they fall on deaf ears
C#m B
You know that it’s over, nothing left for you here
G#m E C#m
Nothing left for you here…

G#m B C#m

Verse 2:

G#m
I waited too long letting people like you
B C#m
Tell me what they want and what i shouldn’t do
G#m
So mark me with words but you can’t tie my hands
B C#m
There’s nothing i’ll say to make you understand
G#m
I know who i am, i know where i’ll end up
B C#m
In flames and that’s fine ‘cause i’m finally fed up
G#m
Stick with what i started, don’t care how it hurts
B C#m
The loudest get shot at the worst

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Bridge:

G#m D#m E C#m B
You know i’ll never fold like you’re the authority
G#m D#m E C#m B
I won’t throw my hands up like you’re the authority
G#m D#m E C#m B
You know i’ll never fold like you’re the authority
G#m D#m E C#m B
I won’t throw my hands up like you’re the authority

(Chorus)
