The intro goes on for like 3 minutes, these are the chords:
Em C D Am B7
Daddy EmI'm not going to say I'm sorry.
There ain't Cnothing you can do to change my mind.
I'm not hDere to know the things I can not do.
We've seen the oAmutcome of the boys who didn't B7fly.
That road outsEmide that'll you've been taking home forever,
that'll be the saCme road I take when I depart.
Those charcoal vDeins that hold this chosen land together,
may  twist and Amturn but somewhere deep there is a heaB7rt
  EmPlaying with fire.
You know you're going to Churt somebody tonight.
When you're   Dout on a wire,
you know you're Amplaying with fB7ire.
Perhaps this Emcalling is the channel of invention.
I will not Cblush if others see it as a crime.
However daDngerous the road, however disGtant.
These things won't Amcompromise the will of the desB7ign.
Ten thousand Emdemons hammer down with every foot step.
Ten thousand aCngles rush the wind against my back.
This church of Dmine may not be recognized by stepol,
But that doesn't Ammean that I will walk without a gB7od.
Rolling river of truthD, can you spare me a sip?
The holy fountain of yoEmuth, has been reduced to a drip.
I've got this burning beClief,
in salvation in lGove,
this notion may be naivCe,
but when push comes to shove,G  
I will till this gDround.
You know you're gonna hCurt somebody tonight.G  C  
   GOut on a Dwire.
   CI might not get thGere.
This little towCn, this little house,
they seem to be leGaning in the wrong directiEmon.Bm  
   DI'm not afraid of you no mEmore.
EmOhhhhhh
COhhhhhh
DOhhhh
AmOhhhhh
B7Ohhhhh   (x2)
  EmPlaying with fire.
You know you're going to Churt somebody tonight.
When you're   Dout on a wire,
you know you'rAme playing with B7fire.

The intro goes on for like 3 minutes, these are the chords:

Em C D Am B7

Daddy I'm not going to say I'm sorry.

There ain't nothing you can do to change my mind.

I'm not here to know the things I can not do.

Am B7

We've seen the outcome of the boys who didn't fly.

That road outside that'll you've been taking home forever,

that'll be the same road I take when I depart.

Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together,

Am B7

may twist and turn but somewhere deep there is a heart

Playing with fire.

You know you're going to hurt somebody tonight.

When you're out on a wire,

Am B7

you know you're playing with fire.

Perhaps this calling is the channel of invention.

I will not blush if others see it as a crime.

D G

However dangerous the road, however distant.

Am B7

These things won't compromise the will of the design.

Ten thousand demons hammer down with every foot step.

Ten thousand angles rush the wind against my back.

This church of mine may not be recognized by stepol,

Am B7

But that doesn't mean that I will walk without a god.

Rolling river of truth, can you spare me a sip?

The holy fountain of youth, has been reduced to a drip.

I've got this burning belief,

in salvation in love,

this notion may be naive,

but when push comes to shove,

I will till this ground.

C G C

You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight.

G D

Out on a wire.

C G

I might not get there.

This little town, this little house,

G Em Bm

they seem to be leaning in the wrong direction.

D Em

I'm not afraid of you no more.

Ohhhhhh

Ohhhh

Ohhhhh

Ohhhhh (x2)

Playing with fire.

You know you're going to hurt somebody tonight.

When you're out on a wire,

Am B7

you know you're playing with fire.

Ohhhhhh

Ohhhh

Ohhhhh

Ohhhhh (x2)
