Em                     B/D#
Give me the flammable life
              Em/D             A/C#
I'm cold as a match ready to strike
    C  Em  A
So here I go

Here lies a city on fire
Singing along
The arsonist choir
Now here I go

A
It's starting with a spark
And burned into the dark
     C  Em  A
Now here I go

There is a river I found into the wild
Under the ground
So here I go

A button on a string
And I heard everything
Now here I go

E                     F# G
Oh sweet ignition be my fuse
E                           F#   G
You have no choice you have to choose
E                   F#  G
Bid farewell to yesterday
E                   F#  G
Say goodbye I'm on my way

Chorus:
But in the end we all
Come from what's come before
So here I go

Oh sweet ignition be my fuse
You have no choice you have to choose
Bid farewell to yesterday
Say goodbye I'm on my way

I threw it all away because
I had to be what never was
Been so hungry I could lie
Took my word, I took your lie

In held you with my bloody hands
These rattle bones and rubber bands
Wash them in the muddy water
Looking for a dime and found a quarter

But you can't make me change my name
You'll never make me change my name
Pay no mind now ain't that something
Fuck it all I came from nothing

E           D
I'm something
            C
From nothing
            A   E
You are my fuse
             D
I'm something
            C
From nothing
            A
You are my fuse
        E
It goes oh oh oh
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
It goes oh oh oh alright

No you can't make me change my name
You'll never make me change my name
Pay no mind now ain't that something
Fuck it all I came from nothing

I'm something
From nothing
I'm something
From nothing
