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