G 
Em 
Bm 
My happiness is a forest fire,
C 
G 
only I can prevent it.
Em 
Bm 
Each match I snuff is something mean,
C 
D 
somebody said once and meant it.
Em 
Bm 
Each drop of lighter fluid
G 
C 
G 
is something someone else has I don't.
D 
Em 
And every piece of kindling
C 
D 
is a chance I could take,
G 
C 
but won't gotta let the fuck go
Em 
D 
C 
Of all the shit that's building up
in like a fire
G 
D 
G 
That'll bring me what I want
Em 
When I'm feelin' so  frustrated
Bm 
C 
that I want to die
G 
Em 
I ask myself what would it take
Bm 
D 
C 
to  get satisfied
D 
Em 
Bm 
What would I be givin'
D 
C 
up in that moment,
G 
ounce for ounce
D 
Em 
It's not the life we're given, no
C 
D 
G 
It's what we do that counts,
D

gotta let the fuck go
Em 
Of all the shit that's
D

holding you back and
Light the fire

So toss that match into the woods

and new growth is our concern

acting nice, trying to belong
