 Em        Am
Cold as a valley
      G         B
Where I lay my head
 Em        Am
Cold as a woman
     B           Em
In another man's bed
 Em          Am
Down in the forest
          G        B
With the devil in me
        Em                        Am
I'll remember the looks on their faces
             B        Em
Through the sycamore trees

           Am         G
Ain't no chariots of fire
         B        Em
Come to take me home
     Am          G
I'm lost in the woods
       B      Em
And I wander alone

Chorus:
 Em
Hellfire, hellfire
 Am      G
Take my soul
      B
I've waited, waited
              Em
I'm ready to go
(Yeah)
 Em
Mothers, children
 Am        G
Lock your doors
     B
I'm waiting
              Em
I'm ready to go
(Yeah)

Run in an alleyway
Through a dead end street
Murdering promises
That I just can't keep
We could sing pretty melodies
On the unmade bed
Slow-dancing to a silhouette
Cause I ain't dead yet

Ain't no chariots of fire
Come to take me home
I'm lost in the woods
And I wander alone

Chorus:
Hellfire, hellfire
Take my soul
I'm waiting, waiting
I'm ready to go
(Yeah)
Mothers, children
Lock your doors
I'm waiting
I'm ready to go

Hellfire, hellfire
Take my soul
I'm waiting, waiting
I'm ready to go
(Yeah)
Mothers, children
Lock your doors
I'm waiting
I'm ready to go
(Yeah)
