Lyrics
They tell you where you need to go, they tell you when you need
to leave.
They tell you what you need to know, tell you who you need
to be.
But (Cmaj7)ev ’ry thing in side you knows there’s (G)more than what you’ve heard; there’s so much (Am9)more than emp ty con ver sa tions (F)filled with emp ty words.
And you’re on (Cmaj7)fire
when he’s near you,
you’re on fire
when he speaks.
You’re on fire,
burn ing at these
mys ter ies.
Give me one more time a round; give me one more chance
to see.
Give me ev ’ry thing you (G)are; give me one more chance
to be near you, and
when (Cmaj7)ev ’ry thing in side me looks like (G)ev ’ry thing I hate, you are the hope I have for change; you are the on ly chance I’ll take when I’m on (Cmaj7)fire
when you’re near me.
I’m on fire
when you speak.
I’m on fire,
burn ing at these
mys ter ies,
mys ter ies,
mys ter ies.
(You’re on fire.)
(You’re on fire.)
(You’re on fire.)
I’m (Cmaj7)stand ing on the edge of me.
I’m (G)stand ing on the edge of me.
I’m (Am9)stand ing on the edge of me.
I’m (F)stand ing on the edge of me.
I’m (Cmaj7)stand ing on the edge of ev ’ry thing I’ve nev er been be fore, and I’ve been (Am9)stand ing on the edge of me, (F)stand ing on the edge.
And I’m on (Cmaj7)fire
when you’re near me.
I’m on fire
when you speak.
Yeah, I’m on fire,
burn ing out these
mys ter ies,
these mys
(F)ter ies, these mys
ter ies,
yeah,
your mys
ter y,
(F)yeah,
your mys ter y.
