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

(F)yeah,
