            A#m
They've got fire
              G#
Well I've got lightning bolts
          A#m
They keep hunting
          G#
Tryin' to kill my hope

    F#
And everywhere I go
                         G#       A#m
I see them in the corner of my eye
 F#
Shoutin' that it's over
                            G#
Shoutin' that I'd stop the fight
             F#
Can somebody tell me
             D#m
How to win a fight?
             A#m
Can somebody tell me
              G#
Is the fear inside?

Chorus:
        F#
I wanna learn how to live
            D#m
Without the consequences
        A#m
I wanna learn how to live
            G#
Without the consequences

F#                D#m
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
A#m               G#
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Shakin' fingers
Chest gets tighter now
Try to stay calm
Try to come back down

But everywhere I go
I see them in the corner of my eye
Shoutin' that it's over
Sayin' I should stop the fight
Will somebody tell me
How to win a fight?
Can somebody tell me
Is the fear inside?

Chorus

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Chorus:
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

D#m
I can see them waitin'
Outside the window
F#
Tryna tell me how to live
Oh, they won't go
A#m
I can see them waitin'
Outside the window
G#
Tryna tell me how to live
                 F#
Oh, they won't go
                 D#m
Oh, they won't go
                 A#m
Oh, they won't go
                 G#
Oh, they won't go

Chorus:
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I wanna learn how to live (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Without the consequences (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
