Slow Burn Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][F][G][E]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
It begins with [Am]a dark
glowing ember,
[C]Something black burning
it's way out of [F]me.
Searing the flesh,
Pain is the [E]only thing I feel,
Scars all I [Am]see.

[Verse 2]
Oh no the fire's [Am]burning
my insides again,
[C]What can I do to silence my desire tonight?
[F]Face consumer reason leaving
all the ashes [E]there,
You won't catch me for
granting my decision,
[F]I can't kee[G]p tel[D]ling mys[E]elf
[Am]what I want to hear,[G#][G][C][F]
I can't just [E]close my [G]eye[Am]s.

[Verse 3]
I know that it's [G]killing me,
And it's [F]poisoning the [G]best of [G#]me,
[E]But [Am]I say, I don't want to[G] believe.
So let me [F]tell you boy, tell you boy,
About the [E]lies I lead.

[Verse 4]
[Am]
That is how it kills,
I got some flames and gasoline
[C]Broken teeth replace the blackout
memories in [E]my [F]head
Wreckage from the blast,
it often shakes me to the floor
[E](to the floor)
I know it's over but I can't

[Verse 5]
go home tonight.
[Am]And after this I feel as empty
as the night before,
Feel the pain and [C]yet I'm [F]still
[C]begging for [F]more.
Masochistic, nihilistic,
gurging wrecked up thought[C]s
My [G]life's a [C]mess and I can't
[Am]find a [E]way to fix [F]it.
I can't [G]keep

[Verse 6]
[D]telling [E]myself[Am]
what I want to [G#]hear,[C][F]
I can't just [E]close my [G]eyes
(my eyes, [Am]my eyes, my fucking eyes)

[Verse 7]
I [Am]know that it's [G]killing me,
And it's [F]poisoning the [G]best of [E]me,
But [Am]I say, I don't want to[G] believe.
So let me [F]tell you boy, tell you boy,
About the [E]lies I lead.

[Verse 8]
[Am]Calling, calling [G]out.
[D]The darkness reaches up my soul,
I'm [Am]riddled with self-doubt.
Crawling, crawling crawling [G]out,
My [D]will to fight will more than suffice,
While [Am]others will lay down.

[Verse 9]
[E]
It's only as dark as you [Am]make it.

[Verse 10]
[Am]I know that it's kil[G]ling me,
And it's [F]poisoning the [G]best of me,
[E]But [Am]I say, I don't want to[G] believe.
So let me [F]tell you boy, tell you boy,
About [E]the lies I lead.

[Outro 1]
