[Verse 1]

Bm               C#
I decline to walk the line
         Em                   Bm
They tell me that I'm lazy
                           C#
Worldly wise, I realize
         Em              Bm
That everybody's crazy
    F             C           G
A woman's voice re minds me
       F             G        Am
To serve and not to speak
F                         C                  F
Am I my self or just another freak?

[Chorus]
                            G                 E
You know there's fire in the hole
         Am                  F
And nothing left to burn
      G         D           C
I'd love to run out now
                           F          G
There's nowhere left to turn, no no

[Verse 2]

Bm                        C#
With a cough, I shake it off
        Em                     Bm
And work around my yellow stripe
                            C#
Should I hide and eat my pride?
      Em                  Bm
Or wait until it's good and ripe?
      F         C        G
My life is boiling over
       F              G          Am
It's happened once before
     F                    C                           F
I wish someone would open up the door

[Chorus]
                                    G                 E
Dont you know there's fire in the hole
          Am                 F
And nothing left to burn
       G          D         C
I'd love to run out now
                            F        G
There's nowhere left to turn,

There's nowhere left to turn,
