[Intro] Bbm  Db  Ab  Gb  F
        Bbm  Db  Ab  Gb  Fm

[First Part]

                      Bbm
You tried to hold me down, so I became a soldier
                    Db
Built up all these walls, and now I'm climbing over
             Ab
Those nasty bees are temping me, oh, lord
    Gb             F
But I ain't going back

                   Bbm
You take me for a fool, that doesn't make me foolish
                Db
Told me I was wrong, passion made you ruthless
       Ab
Manipulate, it's just too late, oh, lord
        Gb                    F
'Cause I ain't going back no more

[Pre-Chorus]

        F
You're fueling up the flames
 F
Gonna show you what I'm made of

[Chorus]

Bbm                                  Db
Breaking every chain that you put on me
Db                                           Ab
You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
Ab
'Cause I will never be what you wanted
Gb                          F                   Bbm
This fire, this fire, this fire is keeping me alive

 Bbm                                     Db
Making me believe I couldn't do without ya
 Db                                             Ab
Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya
Ab
You know I'll never be what you wanted
Continues after the ad

This fire, this fire, this fire

[Second Part]

                     Bbm
I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders
                   Db
Built up all my strength, I'm finally taking over
      Ab
Complicate, I don't appreciate, oh lord
       Gb             F
'Cause I ain't going back no more

[Pre-Chorus]

You're fueling up the flames

Gonna show you what I'm made of

  Ebm                                                        F
