Verse 1
(A minor) I have seen the fire
(D minor) watcher's (A minor) daughter
Watching fires (D minor) burn from
(A minor) smoke to black
There's noth (F major) ing she (G major) won't burn
From (C major) (G major) Styrofoam to (A minor) urns,
to someone (E major) else's ashes in a sack
(A minor)
Verse 2
(A minor) You can scorch the metal, (D minor)
you can even (A minor) melt the glass
(F major) You can pass the time here,
(A minor) fire lives into the past
An (G major) all-consuming flame, flame,
that refines (C major) and (A minor) new begins
It'll (E major) take your family heirlooms,
But it can take your darkest (A minor) sins

It's a good (F major) ol' bedtime story,
give you night (A minor) mares 'til you die
And the (G major) ones that love to tell it,
hide the mis (A minor) chief in their eyes (G major)
(F major) Condemn their sons to Hades
(G major) And Gehen (C major) na is (G major) full of guys, (A minor)
alive and (D minor) well
But there ain't no (E major) hell for
a fire-watcher's daugh (A minor) ter
