VERSE:
A B A B
Are you lying there on the cold dark ground
C#m
Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound
A B A B
What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time
C#m
What do you want so bad that you have never had
A B A B
Could it be dangerous to light the flame and just
C#m
Feel the warmth again make it rise again
A B A B
Remember your last time you tried to let it in
C#m
It scorched the walls, torched the halls
F#m
And then it melted your skin
CHORUS:
F#m A
Like a preacher save you from the fire
E B
I won’t let you burn
F#m A
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
E B F#m A E
I won’t let you burn
B
I won’t let you burn
VERSE:
A B A B
The feelings you repress the thoughts you don’t confess
C#m
They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart
A B A B
You recklessly adore the idols keeping score
C#m
But no-one ever wins they just start the game again
A B A B
You chose the cross you bare and pick the chains you wear
C#m
Your heavens in your mind your hells a valentine
A B A B
Come closer now express this longing so divine
C#m F#m
On your knees be blessed let it possess you one more time
CHORUS:
F#m A
Like a preacher save you from the fire
E B
I won’t let you burn

Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
E B
I won’t let you burn
BREAK:
F#m A
I''m a sermoniser, On the street evangeliser
E

Your hungering is so discrete
E B
Take this now for it’s my body a little death can be so godly

Are you lying there on the cold dark ground
Your skin and bones are bare you stare without a sound
What is it in your mind that lights the fuse this time
What do you want so bad that you have never had
Could it be dangerous to light the flame and just
Feel the warmth again make it rise again
Remember your last time you tried to let it in
It scorched the walls, torched the halls
And then it melted your skin
Like a preacher save you from the fire
I won''t let you burn
Like a preacher gonna lift you higher
I won''t let you burn
Oh I won''t let you burn
The feelings you repress the thoughts you don''t confess
They grow inside the dark make ashes of your heart
You recklessly adore the idols keeping score
But no-one ever wins they just start the game again
You chose the cross you bare and pick the chains you wear
Your heavens in your mind your hells a valentine
Come closer now express this longing so divine
On your knees be blessed let it possess you one more time
I am a sermoniser, an on the street evangeliser
Virtuous and sanctified
You innocence is glorified there''s a part that''s incomplete
Your hungering is so discrete
Take this now for it''s my body a little death can be so godly
Like a preacher save you from the fire
I won''t let you burn I''ll save you
Come come
Come follow me to the deep inside
Where heaven is love is alive
Come follow me to the deep inside
Where heaven is love is alive
