Intro: Em(2 bars) C(2 bars) D(2 bars) Am(1 bar) B7(1 bar) x4


      Em
Daddy I'm not going 
to tell you that I'm sorry
            C
There ain't nothing you 
can do to change my mind
        D
I'm not here to know the 
things I can not do
               Am
We've seen the outcome of 
                    B7
the boys who didn't fly
             Em
That road outside that
you've been taking home forever
               C
that'll be the same road 
I take when I depart
               D
These charcoal veins that hold 
this chosen land together
              Am
may twist and turn but somewhere 
                B7
deep there is a heart


Chorus:
Em
  Playing with Fire
You know you're going 
   C
to hurt somebody tonight
           D
When you're out on a wire
               Am             B7
you know you're  playing with fire


Verse 2:
             Em
Perhaps this calling is 
the channel of invention.
           C
I will not blush if others 
see it as a crime
        D
However dangerous the 
road however distant
                   Am
These things won't compromise 
                  B7
the will of the design
             Em
Ten thousand demons hammer 
down with every foot step
             C
Ten thousand angels rush the 
wind against my back
     D
This church of mine may not 
be recognized by steeple
             Am
that doesn't mean that I 
                    B7
will walk without a god


Refrain:
                 D
Rolling river of truth
can you spare me a sip?
                     Em
The holy fountain of youth
has been reduced to a drip
                        C
I've got this burning belief
                G
in salvation in love.
                     C
This notion may be naive
                       G
but when push comes to shove
       D/F#      D
I will till this ground


Bridge:

You know you're gonna 
C               G    C G
hurt somebody tonight.
         D--
Out on a wire


Verse 3:
C                 G/B
  I might not get there
            C
This little town
this little house
                G/B
they seem to be leaning 
               Em     Bm D
in the wrong direction
                         Am 
I'm not afraid of you no more


Guitar Solo : C---D---Am-B7, Em--C--D--A-B7 x2


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro: Em--C--D--A-B7 x2, Em(hold)
