[Verse 1]
HeyD, what became of my head
The F#mbeats in my heart, the jokes that I said?
EmI guess all these false starts
Of a pGuzzle you can't finish cause' you're mAissing the best parts
And, Ddon't you fear, I'm bringing you home
OF#mut of this pit where I left you alone in
This Emhorrible mess that I made
But I Gguess that's what you get when you're nAot paying attention
[Pre-Chorus]
So Gbaby, welcome back to the man you've been missing
BaAby, welcome back to confusion, perplexion
[Chorus]
We Dall go up in F#mflames, going out in Emstyle
And Heaven help us if they'd eGver let us live for just a lAittle while, yeah
We aDll go up in fF#mlames, going out in sEmtyle
Am I out of my head to think the Gworld will start believing me when I am Adead?
[Verse 2]
I was a Dmiserable man
With washed up excuses, I F#mknow, I know
Part of the confusion Emis me
We both agree that GI wasn't the man you Aneeded me to be
But, oDh, how I changed and oh, how I've grown
But cF#mould she believe me when I've got nothing to show?
My evEmerything, she needs to see
The cGhoice is hers to Abelieve in me
[Pre-Chorus 2]
So bGaby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop
BaAby, I'm back and I'm not gonna stop
[Chorus]
We Dall go up in F#mflames, going out in Emstyle
And Heaven help us if they'd eGver let us live for just a lAittle while, yeah
We aDll go up in fF#mlames, going out in sEmtyle
Am I out of my head to think the Gworld will start believing me when I am Adead?
[Bridge]
EmYou and Bmme, wGe're not eAnemies, I'm begging
EmIf anythBming, all we aGre, we aAre
EmIn harmoBmny, sGing with me, I Aplea
Oh, if EmI can make things rBmight then tGhis will be our nAight
The world against yoAu and I
[Interlude]
We Dall go up in F#mflames, go out in styEmleG  A  
[Chorus]
