[Intro Refrain]
D G A7
This fire grows higher
D G A7
This fire grows higher
D G A7
This fire grows higher
D G A7
This fire grows higher
[Verse 1]
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart
D A G
An endless yearning in your heart
D
Build it bigger than the sun
G
Let it grow, let it grow
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart
D
Don't be alarmed
[Refrain]
D G A7
This fire grows higher
[Verse 2]
D A G
When there's a doubt within your mind
D A G
Because you're thinking all the time
D
Framing rights into wrongs
G
Move along, move along
D A G
When there's a doubt within your mind
[Verse 3]
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart
D A G
And you think it'll burst apart
D
Or there's nothing to feel
G
Save the tears, save the tears
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart
[Bridge]
Em Em7
And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
G G/F#
Then it's time to go
Em
And define your destination
Em7 G G/F#
There's so many different places to call home
Em Em7
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
G G/F#
It's plain to see
Em Em7
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
G G/F#
Would you agree?
A7 D
If so please show me
[Refrain]
D G A7
This fire grows higher
D G A7
This fire grows higher
[Outro]
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher)
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher. This fire grows higher)
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher. This fire grows higher)
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher. This fire grows higher)
D A G
When there's a burning in your heart...
