C#m7 B F#
C#m7 B F#
C#m7 B F#
[Verse 1]
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
Without really knowing why
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
While hoping that it dies
[Break]
C#m7 B F#
C#m7 B F#
[Verse 2]
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
Without really knowing why
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
While hoping that it dies
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
Without really knowing why
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
C#m7 B F# F#
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
Without really knowing why
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
While hoping that it dies
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
Without really knowing why
C#m7 B F#
Trying to feed the fire
C#m7 B F#
While hoping that it dies
C#m7 B F#
Hoping that it dies
C#m7 B F#
Hoping that it dies
C#m7 B F#
Hoping that it dies
[Outro]
