Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, sweet thing
Zion doesn't [C]love you
And Babylon don't [D]love you
But you love every[G]thing
Oh, you saint
America don't [C]love you
So I could never [D]love you
In spite of every[G]thing

[Pre-chorus 1]
In the [B]dark of this place
There's the [Em]glow of your face
There's the [Am]dust on the screen
Of this [G]broken machine
And I [B]can't help but feel
That I've [Em]made some mistake
But I let it [Am]go
Ya Hey, Ya [G]Hey, Ya Hey

[Chorus 1]
[C]Through the fire and through the flames
[D][G][C]
You won't even say your name
[D][G][C]
Through the fire and through the flames
[D]You won't even say your name
[G]Only "I am that [C]I am"
But who could ever live that way?
[D]Ut Deo, [G]Ya Hey
Ut De[C]o, Deo
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Oh, the motherland don't [C]love you
The fatherland don't [D]love you
So why love any[G]thing?
Oh, good God
The faithless they don't [C]love you
The zealous hearts don't [D]love you
And that's not gonna [G]change

[Pre-chorus 2]
All the [B]cameras and files
All the [Em]paranoid styles
All the [Am]tension and fear
Of a [G]secret career
And I [B]can't help but think
That you've [Em]seen the mistakes
But you let it [Am]go
Ya Hey, Ya [G]Hey, Ya Hey

[Chorus 2]
[C]Through the fire and through the flames
[D][G][C]
You won't even say your name
[D][G][C]
Through the fire and through the flames
[D]You won't even say your name
You [G]say "I am that [C]I am"
But who could ever live that way?
[D]Ut Deo, [G]Ya Hey
Ut De[C]o, Deo

[Bridge 1]
[G]Outside the tents,
on the festival grounds
[Am]As the air began to cool,
and the sun went down
[G]My soul swooned,
as I faintly heard the sound
Of you spinning [D]"Israelites"

[Chorus 3]
Into "19th Nervous Breakdown"
Through the fire and through the flames
[G]You won't even say your name
[C]Through the fire and through the flames
[D]You won't even say your name
[G]Only "I am that [C]I am"
But who could ever live that way?
[D]Ut Deo, [G]Ya Hey
Ut De[C]o, Deo

[Chorus 4]
[C]Through the fire and through the flames
[D]You won't even say your name
[G]Only "I am that [C]I am"
But who could ever live that way?
[D]Ut Deo, [G]Ya Hey
Ut De[C]o, Deo

[Outro 1]
[G][G][G][G]
