G D
Got these bones in my knees cryin' out for relief
Em
I was 6 years old, even then I felt the heat from you
G D Em
You know I tried to tame myself for you
And you might not believe it but I
G D
Touched myself brought about the apocalypse
Em
Crushed my health while my trust turned to rust in you
G D Em
I prayed away myself for you
[Chorus]
G C
We don't fear the fire
Em
And we don't need your ceremony
Sacraments or matrimony
C C
We don't fear the fire
Em
And we don't need permission slips
Your vaccinized evangelists hey
G C Em
Had a dream that you watched me die
You lit the cigarette that burned me alive
G C Em
So give my best to the 99
G
We don't fear the fire
[Verse 2]
G
I was birthed headfirst
C
Into shame into flame like a
Em
Curse burning my wonder into waste for you
G Em
You know I run away just like I do
And all that lingers are these
G D
Teenage blood pact promises we made
Em
They sink like fangs into me when I think of you
G Em C
I threw away the best parts of me for you, oh
[Chorus]
G C
We don't fear the fire
Em
And we don't need your ceremony
Sacraments or matrimony
C C
We don't fear the fire
Em
And we don't need permission slips
Your vaccinized evangelists hey
G C Em
Had a dream that you watched me die
You lit the cigarette that burned me alive
G C Em
So give my best to the 99
G
We don't fear the fire
[Bridge]
G C Em C
Gloomy organ music will tell us all to pay respects
G C Em C
What if your certainty isn't currency for whatever happens next?
[Chorus]
G C
We don't fear the fire
Em
And we don't need your ceremony
Sacraments or matrimony
C C
We don't fear the fire
Em
And we don't need permission slips
Your vaccinized evangelists hey
G C Em
Had a dream that you watched me die
You lit the cigarette that burned me alive
G C Em
So give my best to the 99
G
We don't fear the fire
