Bob Seger - The Fire Inside Chords

[N] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] There's a hard moon rising in the streets at midnight.
There's a [B] reckless feeling in your heart as [F#] you head out tonight.
_ _ [B] _ _
[C#] [F#] Through the concrete canyons to the midtown [B] lights,
Where the latest neon [F#] prompts us all to burn and bright.
_ _ _ [B] _
[F#] Past the open windows on the darkened streets,
[B] Unseen angry voices [F#] flashing, children cry.
_ _ [B] _ _
[F#] Cast upon you poses with the worn out [B] lines,
Tied new money just [F#] to be nice.
The old life deals with the bad [B] designs,
In the fill of times with the rotten [C#] minds.
Out on the town, you're shaking the [D#m] crowd,
Ready to go for the ride.
[B] Surging the eyes, looking for [A#m] clues,
There's no way [C#] you can hide.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
The [F#] fire inside.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] Or you've been to the clubs and the discotheques,
Where they deal one [B] another from the [F#] bottom of the deck up. Prompts us.
_ _ [B] _ _
[F#] Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks,
Do an [B] acting stretch is a way to [F#] hide.
Yeah, it is.
_ _ [B] _ _
[F#] And the lights go down and the dance mill goes,
For [B] one brief instant they pretend [F#] they're safe and warm.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] And the beat gets louder and the mood is [B] gone.
Darkness scatters as the lights flash [F#] on,
They owe one another just a little too long.
And they [B] move apart and then they [C#] go,
On to the street, on to the [D#] next,
Safing the knowledge that they tried,
[B] Faking the smile, hiding the [A#] pain,
Never [C#]
satisfied.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
The [F#] fire inside.
_ _ _ [B] _
The [F#] fire inside.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] Now the hour is late and he thinks he wants to sleep,
You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave,
Like you do. _ _ _ _ _
_ Hear his car pull away in the street,
Then you move to the [B] door and you lock it,
[F#] When he's gone for good.
_ [B] _ [F#] _ _
[B] [F#] Then you walk to the window and stare at the [B] moon,
Riding high and lonesome [F#] through a starlit sky.
[B] And it _ [F#] comes to you how it all slips [B] away,
Youth and beauty are [F#] gone one day,
No matter what you dream or feel or say,
It [B] ends in dust and disarray,
[C#] Like wind on the plains, sand through the [D#] glass,
Waves winging with the tide,
[B] Dreams die hard and we watch them [A#m] erode,
But we cannot [C#] be denied.
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[F#] The fire inside.
_ _ [B] _ _
The [F#] fire inside.
_ _ [B] _ _
The [F#] fire inside.
_ _ [B] _ _ _
[F#] Burning you up, _ [B] burning you up. _
[F#] The fire inside.
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
