Am C? D G
Bad everything Bad no one

C? Am
'Cuz I need the fire
G Am
And I need the smoke

So why am I in the shadows

Life takes love
Breaks almost everyone
I've tasted the color of sunshine
Lives will destroy
Kill all the joy
I'm sorry but
I was just a boy

And I need the fire
And I need the smoke
My face in a smirk
'Cuz life is a joke
The sun seems to shine
On everyone I know
So why am I in the shadows
'Cuz I'm a joke
Solo:
No fire now
Life takes somethin' away
Bloody fingers yet
I have nothin' to say
No diving gray?
Will take the pain away
Hope I make it clear
Hope I get free some day
Chorus:
'Cuz I need the fire
And I need the smoke
My face in a smirk
'Cuz life is a joke
The sun seems to shine
On everyone I know
So why am I in the shadows
Cuz I choke
