FACE THE FIRE
By: Dan Fogelberg
Key: Am

2  6    6  6-5  -5   -4    5   -56 6 
I hear the thun-der three miles a-way
 2   6   6     6-5 -5  -5 5 -4-3 -3
The is-land's leak-ing in-to the bay
 2  -5   6  6   6 -5  -5 
The poi-son is spread-ing
-1  -4  5  -5   6
The de-mon is free
 2  -5   6   6   6   -5   -5   
And peo-ple are run-ning from
 -5  -5 6   -5   5 -4 -3
What they can't ev-en see.

 6    6  6-5-5 -55  -4    5 -56 6  
Face the fi-re you can't run a-way
 2    6    6    6 -5 -5
The risk grows great-er
 -5   -5    6  -5  -55
With each pass-ing day
 2    6    6   6-5-5
The wait-ing's ov-er
 3  -4  5   -5   6 
The mo-ment has come
2   6    6  6-5-5 5-4  -4  4  -4  -3   
To kill the fi-re and turn to the sun.

   2     6     6  6-5 -5
They'll take your mon-ey
-55  -4   5    -56   6
And then take your health
2    6    6    6-5 -5   -5
To line their pock-ets with
-5 5  -4-3    -3
Un-e-qualed wealth
  2   -56  6  6-5 -5
These men are un-der
-1  -4  4  -5  6
The pow-er of gold
2   -56  6  6-5  -5 -5  -56
We won't be safe un-til we
 -5    5   -4   -3
Shut them down cold.

 6    6  6-5-5 -55  -4    5 -56 6  
Face the fi-re you can't run a-way
 2    6    6    6 -5 -5
The risk grows great-er
 -5   -5    6  -5  -55
With each pass-ing day
 2    6    6   6-5-5
The wait-ing's ov-er
 3  -4  5   -5   6 
The mo-ment has come
2   6    6  6-5-5 5-4  -4  4  -4  -3   
To kill the fi-re and turn to the sun.
 6    6  6-5-5 -5   -4  4  -4 -332
Kill the fi-re and turn to the sun

 2   6   6  6 -5 -5 -55 -4  5 -56  6
The peo-ple came to the cap-i-tol town
 2   6   6    6 -5 -5  -5  -5
One hun-dred thous-and of them
 -5    5    -4-3   -3
Laid their hearts down
  2     -5 6  6  6-5 -5
They screamed in an-ger
-1    -4   5     -5    6
And broad-cast their fears
-5 6 6  6 -5  -5 
Just to have them
 -5  5   -4   -3
Fall on deaf ears.
