[Verse 1]
Am7 G D Am7 G D
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
Am7 G D Am7 G D
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
Am7 G D Am7 G D
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
Am7 G D Am7 G D
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
Without really knowing why
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
While hoping that it dies
[Break]

[Verse 2]
Am7 G D Am7 G D
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
Am7 G D Am7 G D
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
Am7 G D Am7 G D
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
Am7 G D Am7 G D
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
Without really knowing why
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
While hoping that it dies
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
Without really knowing why
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
Am7 G D Am7 G D
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
Am7 G D Am7 G D
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
Am7 G D Am7 G D
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
Am7 G D D
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
Without really knowing why
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
While hoping that it dies
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
Without really knowing why
Am7 G D
Trying to feed the fire
Am7 G D
While hoping that it dies
Am7 G D
Hoping that it dies
Am7 G D
Hoping that it dies
Am7 G D
Hoping that it dies
