[Intro]

[Verse 1]
EmCome at me, Cand you'll see, F#dimI'm more than Bmeets the eye
EmYou think that, Cyou'll break me, F#dimyou're gonna Bfind in time
[Pre chorus 1]
You're Cstanding too close to a Amflame that's burning

F#dimListen up silly boy 'cause I'm Bgonna tell you why---
[Chorus]

And there's EnotB/D#hing
I C#mburn, swing Aall you Bwant
Like a Efever I'll B/D#take you down
[Solo 1]
The chords here are unusual because it's melodic guitar and drums only. The solo is essentially chromatically
descending arpeggios of tritones, starting from Gdim.

[Rap]
N.C.
Hotter than the sun, feel my fire, pyromaniac my desire.
N.C.
Thought that you could see the truth, til I just burned down the booth.
N.C.
Human torch can't fuck with me, Johnny Blaze? Suspect B.
N.C.
Strike them quick, lightning fast, melt them bitches down to ash.
EmGasoline, Kerosine, Cstrike the match ignite the scene
F#dimShit will never be the same, Bfeel the fury of my flame
EmBeg for mercy it won't help, Cembrace the ending you were dealt.
F#dimSeems you fucks will never learn, Bnow sit back and watch me burn.
[Solo 2]
(Sorry, my ears aren't that good. If someone can tab the solo that would be fantastic)

I C#mburn, can't Ahold me Bdown
And there's EnotB/D#hing
