Capo on 4th
[Verse]
G C
Oh, sweet thing, Zion doesn't love you
D G
And Babylon don't love you, but you love everything
C
Oh, you saint, America don't love you
D G
So I could never love you, in spite of everything
[Pre-chorus]
Bm Em
In the dark of this place, there's the glow of your face
Am G Gadd9
There's the dust on the screen, of this broken machine
B Am G
And I can't help but feel, that you see the mistakes but you let it go
Ya hey, ya hey, ya hey
[Chorus]

C
Through the fire and through the flames
D G C
(Ya hey, ya hey, o deo hey, ya hey, wo deo hey, ya hey)
You won't even say your name
D G C
(Ya hey, ya hey, o deo hey, ya hey, wo deo hey, ya hey)
D
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name
G C
Only I am that I am
But who could ever live that way?
D G C
(Ya hey, ya hey, wo deo hey, ya hey, wo deo, deo)
(Repeat the same for the following choruses and verses)
[Bridge]
G
Outside the tents, on the festival grounds
C
As the air began to cool and the sun went down
D
My soul swooned as I faintly heard the sound
D7
Of you spinning Israelites into 19th Nervous Breakdown
