Chords for Baptism of Fire by Lui Collins

_ _ _ _ Don't adjust your press, secure your press.
There's space for me in here.
_ _ _ Okay.
_ _ Oh, [A] well. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Baptism of fire
[Bm] You never knew what that [E] meant
But now [E] all its flames
Are rising [Bm] high
I guess I haven't seen [E] anything yet Because [F#m] it's
_ Come around me
And [C#m] I'm [D] _ _ [A] like a phoenix
From the ashes
_ Wings across the blue _
[G] _ The [D] only way out is [A] through
_ A [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
forest [B] of fury, [Bm] kindling [E] fear
[B] Oh, see how [Bm] dark the woods have grown
After [E] these years
And [F#m] now that they're around me
[C#m] And I am [D] rising up
[A] Like a lily from the shadows
Glistening and perfumed
[G] _ The only [D] way out is [A] through
All _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] the detours taken
Never leave you whole
What a [G] mage he finds himself in
[E] Still alone
Know your [A] flaws
You're too easy
So [Bm] the truth in the [E] dead you
[G] _
The only [D] way out is [A] through _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ Baptism of fire
All [Bm] happening [E] within
_ [G] Illusions burn [D] like tall grass
In a wild and ruthless [E] wind
And [F#m] now that _ I'm clean
[C#m] And I am [D] rising up
[A] Like a great veil of resurrected
_ Flinging around the truth
_ [G] All _ [D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ the detours taken
[E] Never [D] leave you whole
_ [C] What a mage he finds himself [G] in _ Still alone
Know your [A] flaws
You're too easy
[Bm] So the truth in the [E] dead you
[G] The only [D] way out is [A] through
_ [E] The _ _ _ [D] only way out is [A] through _ _ _
[G] The only [D] way out is through _
[E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ The only way [Bm] _ out [A] is through _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ Standing on this precipice again and again and again
I check and check
For [B] balance of these new attachments to my scapula
When he first urged me to try and lie up _ [D] here _ _
[F#] _ _ [C] I said no
No, I'll stay behind
[B] You go on ahead without me
Far better to suffocate in this busty prison
Isolated on this isle
Than to die a jagged death gashed on the rocks below
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Set aside my doubts
Set my hopes [Bm] upon my shoulders
Where I feel their featherweight hip bounce
As I delay the [B] moment of departure
_ _ _ He spoke of passing to safety
Of the freedom [Bm] of life
Rising up in the pockets
The glory of drifting on the wind
The riffling of the feathers
[B] The warmth of sun upon brow
_ And I was seduced by his words
Trying to imagine that I might be lifted by the currents
To cross the waters to new ground
_ _ Trying to believe that I might have the strength
To survive the journey
_ [E] The stamina to endure the [Dm] travails
_ _ _ The courage to conquer [B] my fears
And even now as [D] I quiver in the verge
The thought [A#] thrusts itself into my mind
Utterly no, no, leave me here
I cannot trust that nothing is holding that thought tightly
_ In but a moment [Em] I'll be into the abyss
_ _ _ _ [B] The poem has a sequel
It took me a month of kind of hanging there in suspension
Before the second [E] poem came along
And so I called it sequel to the [B] precipice
Or, well, I left
But I did not _ _ _ _
_ Well, I left
_ I did not
Nor was I dashed to pieces on the rocks below
In fact, I held my own for a good few yards
Before the _ _ _ _ wind of my strength drifted low
I caught a wind [C#] and my son swam
It spun me head over heels
Wings flapping hysterically
Before finally I plunged [E] into the waters
And here I roiled and churned
Run before the tide
_ My feathers are so
