  F         A#        F
Why did I dream last night?
  F            A#      F
Why did I not see the light?
                Dm
Cause here and now is what
I've been waiting for
        A#
All my life this is what I was born to do
         F                              A
No sacrifice I wouldn't give it up for you

Chorus:
     A#             F
And set fire to my heart
                     Dm
Then tear my world apart
                      A
Just like you always do
     A#                   F
And give, give me just a taste
                   Dm
Then take it all away
                 A
I'm lost in the game
                       Dm
The game you call the fame

Why did I think
There was something more?
Why did it feel
Different to the years before?

'Cause here and now is what
I've been waiting for
All my life, this is what I was born to do
No sacrifice, I wouldn't give it up for you

Chorus:
Set fire to my heart then tear my world apart
Just like you always do
And give, gimme me just a taste,
then take it all away
I'm lost in the game,
the game they call the fame
The game they call the fame

And set fire to my heart
then tear my world apart
Just like you always do
And give, gimme me just a taste,
then take it all away
I'm lost in the game,
the game they call the fame
