Button up that shirt your supposed to wear. (C)(G)
(C)Don't forget your (G)airline ticket (Am)or to brush your (G)hair,
Show that (Am)family that you (G)care
(C)Couldn't you wear (G)something that celebrates
(C)Everything you (G)love and maybe (Am)what your family (G)hates
'Coz that (Am)might be what it (G)takes.
That's your (C)fire, that's your (Em)soul
(Am)Shouldn't have to (F)go
That's your (C)fire, that's your (Em)soul
(Am)You shouldn't have to (F)go
(C)First thing they (G)say is take off your shoes (C)(G)
(C)And they say they (G)want your story
(Am)But they get (G)confused
By (Am)all those words you (G)use.
(C)A year ago your (G)car went off a (C)cliff
And you saw an (G)angel in mid (Am)air
Who said you'd (G)live
That's a (Am)story you can (G)give
That's your (C)fire, that's your (Em)soul
(Am)Shouldn't have to (F)go
That's your (C)fire, that's your (Em)soul
(Am)You shouldn't have to (F)go
And they say you're (G)family
You (Em)belong to (Am)us
(F)You can stay at (G)home
And have our (Em)love and (Am)trust
(C)Any day now (G)one of us could (C)die,
If we make you (G)suffer
Don't you (Am)want to find out (G)why
'Coz we (Am)love to watch you (G)try
With your (C)fire, your (Em)soul, your (Am)soul (F)
It's your (C)fire, It's your (Em)fire,
It's your (Am)fire, It's your (F)fire,
It's your fire
(C)And you'll fly (G)home and get the (C)flu (G)
(C)And you'll keep (G)staring at the (Am) ground you always (G)do
When they (Am)get their time with (G)you
(C)You are not a (G)punching bag, my (C)dear (G)
(C)I think your (G)darkest days
Should (Am)have some light this (G)year
I think (Am)you should stay right (G)here
With your (C)fire, with your (Em)soul
You (Am)shouldn't have to (F)go
It's your (C)fire, that's your (Em)soul
You (Am)shouldn't have to (F)go
That's your (C)fire, that's your (Em)soul
You (Am)shouldn't have to (F)go
That's your (C)fire, it's your (Em)fire,
It's your (Am)fire, It's your (F)fire
