[Verse 1]
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
Without really knowing why
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
While hoping that it dies
[Break]

Dm7 C G
[Verse 2]
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
Without really knowing why
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
While hoping that it dies
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
Without really knowing why
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
Dm7 C G Dm7 C G
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
Dm7 C G G
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
Without really knowing why
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
While hoping that it dies
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
Without really knowing why
Dm7 C G
Trying to feed the fire
Dm7 C G
While hoping that it dies
Dm7 C G
Hoping that it dies
Dm7 C G
Hoping that it dies
Dm7 C G
Hoping that it dies
[Outro]
