[Verse 1]
e
Smash glass against the wall
                                      D
Curse the music on the radio that the neighbours play
e
Door slams, she turns her head
                                  D
Watches throught the window as he pulls away

F
Funny how your racing brain drives you so mad
a
When all the while you feel so numb
F
Too old to be clean, far to young to be broken
a               B
Like an army we come

e
Cut back, left behind
                                     D
I watched you self-destructing Oh so many times
e
Shot down, once again
                                            D
Siting in a chair crying what am I going to do with my life?

     F
Just learn to hide the way that you really feel
a
Never let them know that you're scared
F
But understand that you're not the special only one
a                      B
Watch us now, watch us real close
[Chorus]
           e               D
How we all dance with this fire
          G           C
'Cos it's all that we know
           e               D
And as the spotlight turns towards us
       G               C
We all try our best to show
       e            D
We are lost, we are freaks,
       G                C
We are crippled, we are weak,
           C                      a
We are the heirs, we are the true heirs
           B
To all the world

[Verse 2:]
Lets go build a fire down on the empty beach
When the waves are crashing high
White heat purify as the sparks fly up
Into the great black sky
Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames
Stand as silhouettes against the dawn
It's far too late to try and sleep now
Seems I'm never tired anymore

[Chorus]
I want to dance with this fire
'Cos it's all that I know
And as the spotlight turns towards us.....

[Outro]
          e               D
Oh how we dance with this fire
          G           C
'Cos it's all that we know
           e               D
And as the spotlight turns towards us
       G               C
We all try our best to show
       e            D              G                C
We are lost, we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
       e            D              G                C
We are lost, we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak e D G C
We are lost, we are freaks, and we try our best to show
       e            D              G                C
We are lost, we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak
       e    D              G                C
We are lost, we are freaks, and we try our best to show
     e     D
I am lost, I'm a freak.....
