[Intro]
 G   C   DX2
[Verse 1]
I read a story about a coal Gfire
Burned for eighty miles undCerground,
under rivers and across the stDate line,
without a flame, without a soGund.
It burned a building and some feGnceposts
when it come up from the dirt into thCe sky.
And when they interviewed the tDownfolks,
they said that hell was on Gthe rise.
[Chorus]
Now I'm looking out a winCdow, while you're Gsleeping.
I'm scared out of my mCind, oh no, I feel that fire creeGping.
Everywhere I gDo always Cburns downG;
everyone I love Dis tryCing to figure me ouGt;
and everything I kneDw I buriCed undergrounCd.       UndergroundG  
[Interlude]
G   C   D
[Verse 2]
I saw a picture of a pGicture
that reminded me of myseClf.
Like a coal fire burning underDground:
from up above it's hard to teGll.
And you said that I could staGy here
open my chest for just you to Csee
all these acres of quieDt fire
that are burning down in Gme.
[Chorus]
Now I'm looking out a wiCndow while you're sleepGing.
I'm scared out of my minCd, oh no, I feel that fire cGreeping.
Everywhere I gDo always Cburns dowGn;
everyone I love Dis tryiCng to figure me outG;
everything I kneDw is on fiCre undergrouCnd,              underground.G  
[Interlude]
 G   C   D
[Outro]
I read a story about a coal Gfire
Burned for eighty miles undCerground,
under rivers and across the stDate line,
without a flame, without a soCund.
without a flame without a souGnd.

[Intro]

G C D

[Verse 1]

I read a story about a coal fire

Burned for eighty miles underground,

under rivers and across the state line,

without a flame, without a sound.

It burned a building and some fenceposts

when it come up from the dirt into the sky.

And when they interviewed the townfolks,

they said that hell was on the rise.

[Chorus]

C G

Now I'm looking out a window, while you're sleeping.

C G

I'm scared out of my mind, oh no, I feel that fire creeping.

D C G

Everywhere I go always burns down;

D C G

everyone I love is trying to figure me out;

D C C G

and everything I knew I buried underground. Underground

[Interlude]

G C D

[Verse 2]

I saw a picture of a picture

that reminded me of myself.

Like a coal fire burning underground:

from up above it's hard to tell.

And you said that I could stay here

open my chest for just you to see

all these acres of quiet fire

that are burning down in me.

[Chorus]

C G

Now I'm looking out a window while you're sleeping.

C G

I'm scared out of my mind, oh no, I feel that fire creeping.

D C G

Everywhere I go always burns down;

D C G

everyone I love is trying to figure me out;

D C C G

everything I knew is on fire underground, underground.

[Interlude]

G C D

[Outro]

I read a story about a coal fire

Burned for eighty miles underground,

under rivers and across the state line,

without a flame, without a sound.

without a flame without a sound.
