G#m7 F# C#
[Verse 1]
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
I used to dream I was a poster in a bedroom
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
Or the pictures that get cut out of the fancy magazines
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
Some tortured genius meant to leave the planet too soon
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
Living on champagne in the back of limousines
[Chorus]
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
Without really knowing why
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
While hoping that it dies
[Break]

G#m7 F# C#
[Verse 2]
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
Trading where I'm at for some future destination
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
Working for attention I'll eventually resent
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
Trying to ignore some of the darker implications
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
Of smiling for the camera with my hands in wet cement
[Chorus]
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
Without really knowing why
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
While hoping that it dies
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
Without really knowing why
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
While hoping that it dies
[Verse 3]
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
There's someone in my reflection that's been haunting me my whole life
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
There's a world outside my window I can barely even hear
G#m7 F# C# G#m7 F# C#
And I wonder to myself as I am straightening my bowtie:
G#m7 F# C# C#
How can I look so perfect on the screen and so awful in the mirror?
[Chorus]
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
Without really knowing why
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
While hoping that it dies
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
Without really knowing why
G#m7 F# C#
Trying to feed the fire
G#m7 F# C#
While hoping that it dies
G#m7 F# C#
Hoping that it dies
G#m7 F# C#
Hoping that it dies
G#m7 F# C#
Hoping that it dies
[Outro]
