Lyrics

The Fire Inside


Gm D Eb Bb
D7 Eb D7 Gm

(Verse 1)
Gm9 Daug7
I rode the train to nowhere town,
Eb Bb
Searched every face, every crowd.
D7 Eb
The neon signs, the late-night rain,
D7 Gm
Still couldn’t kill the empty pain.

(Verse 2)
Gm9 Daug7
I broke the rules, I played the game,
Eb Bb
Thought love was just a fleeting flame.
D7 Eb
The stage, the lights, the roaring sound,
D7 Gm
Still couldn’t fill the hollow ground.

(Chorus)
Cm Gm
I’ve been running wild, running free,
Eb D7
But the fire I need is burning in me!
Eb Bb
The happiness I chase in the night,
D7 Gm
Was always here—the fire inside!

Oohh

(Verse 3)
Gm9 Daug7
I sailed the seas, I crossed the land,
Eb Bb
Searching me in every hand.
D7 Eb
From Tokyo to old New-York streets,
D7 Gm
I lost myself in heartbeats.

(Verse 4)
Gm9 Daug7
But when the dust finally cleared,
Eb Bb
The face I saw was the one I feared—
D7 Eb
Not out there, but deep inside,
D7 Gm
The one I’d run from all my life.

(Chorus)
Cm Gm
I’ve been running wild, running free,
Eb D7
But the fire I need is burning in me!
Eb Bb
The happiness I chase in the night,
D7 Gm
Was always here—the fire inside!

Ohhh
Ohh
