You tried to hold me down [Am],so I became a soldier
Built up all these walls,[C] and now I'm climbing over [G]
Those nasty bees are temping me
Oh, Lord [F], But I ain't going back [E7]
You take me for a fool, [Am] that doesn't make me foolish
Told me I was wrong, [C] passion made you ruthless
[G] Manipulate, it's just too late.
Oh, Lord [F], But I ain't going back [E7] no more
[E]You're fueling up the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of.
[Am]Breaking every chain that you put on me
[C]You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
[G]'Cause I will never be what you wanted
[F] This fire, this fire, [E7]
is keeping me alive.
[Am]Making me believe I couldn't do without ya
[C]Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya
[G]You know I'll never be what you wanted
[F]This fire, this fire,[E7].
[Am]I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders
[C]Built up all my strength, l'm finally taking over
[G]Complicate, I don't appreciate, oh Lord
[F]'Cause I ain't going back no more
[E7]You're fueling up the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of
[Am]Breaking every chain that you put on me
[C]You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
[G]'Cause I will never be what you wanted
[F] This fire, this fire, [E7]
is keeping me alive.

[Dm] Breaking me, shaking me, shaping me
[Am] into what l never wanted, oh
[Dm] Breaking me, shaking me,
making my beating heart a little stronger [E]
Stronger, strong, baby [E7]
[Am]Breaking every chain that you put on me
[C]You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
[G]'Cause I will never be what you wanted
[F] This fire, this fire, [E7]
is keeping me alive.
