Tone: [Bm]
[Verse1]
[Bm] It was good to be there in the [G]bright lights[D]lights, mmm
[Bm] But I lost good friends under the [G]spotligh[D]spotlight, woah
[Bm] Imagine if everybody [G]knew your name[D]name
But they had [Bm]nothing nice to say,[G]say, nothing nice to say[D]say
[Bm] It was good to be living up the [G]high life[D]life, woah
[Bm] But the comedown's harder in the [G]headlines,[D]headlines, woah
[Bm] Everybody tells you, you should [G]play the ga[D]game
But there's [Bm]only you to play,[G]play, there's only you to [D]play
But I [Em]tried [G]
[Chorus]
I set fire to the [Bm]glory
I set fire to the [G]dream
I set fire to the [D]only thing
That led me from the [A]streets
Don't tell me it's [Bm]over, cause I don't want to [G]believe
Cause now I've opened my [D]
eyes and I have found a way to [A]breathe
The truth sets me [Bm]free
[Verse2]
[Bm] I broke my back to make a [G]breakthrough[D]breakthrough, mmm
[Bm] I lost my mind, look what it [G]came to,[D]to, oh
[Bm] I had to lose it all so I could [G]understand[D]understand, woah
[Bm] I was just a boy in the [G]shadow of a[D]a man
[Chorus]
I set fire to the [Bm]glory
I set fire to the d[G]dream
I set fire to the [D]only thing
That led me from the [A]streets
Don't tell me it's [Bm]over, cause I don't want to beli[G]believe
Cause now I've opened my [D]eyes
and I have found a way to [A]breathe
Oh, the truth sets me [Em]free [Bm]
Oh, the truth sets me [Em]free [G]
[Chorus]
I set fire to the [Bm]glory
I set fire to the [G]dream
I set fire to the [D]only thing
That led me from the [A]streets
Don't tell me it's [Bm]over
I don't want to [G]believe
Cause now I've opened my [D]eyes
and I have found a way to [A]breathe
Oh, the truth sets me [Bm]free [G]
Oh, the truth sets me [D]free [A]
Oh, the truth sets me [Bm]free [G]
Oh, the truth sets me [D]free [A]
It sets me [Bm]free
