I'm predicting this is going to be my favorite song on his album.

Listen to the song for the picking pattern.
Bar chords sound best, to me.
Also, the lyrics a bit sketch...

The intro goes on for like 3 minutes, these are the chords:
Em C D Am B7


Em
Daddy I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
C
There ain't nothing you can do to change my mind.
              D
I'm not here to know the things I can not do.
                 Am                          B7
We've seen the outcome of the boys who didn't fly.
              Em
That road outside that'll you've been taking home forever,
                 C
that'll be the same road I take when I depart.
                D
Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together,
               Am                                    B7
may  twist and turn but somewhere deep there is a heart


Em
  Playing with Fire.
                         C
You know you're going to hurt somebody tonight.
             D
When you're   out on a wire,
                    Am      B7
you know you're playing with fire.


              Em
perhaps this calling is the channel of invention.
              C
I will not blush if others see it as a crime.
          D
However dangerous the road, however distant.
                  Am                          B7
These things won't compromise the will of the design.

             Em
Ten thousand demons hammer down with every foot step.
              C
Ten thousand angles rush the wind against my back.
              D
This church of mine may not be recognized by stepol,
             Am                               B7
that doesn't mean that I will walk without a god.


                      Em
rolling river of truth, can you spare me a sip?
                       Am
The holy fountain of youth, has been reduced to a drip.
                        C
I've got this burning belief,
                 G
in salvation in love,

this notion may be naive,
    C                         G
but when push comes to shove,
                    D
I will till this ground.

                          C                    G            C
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight.
G           D
   Out on a wire.


C                    G
   I might not get there.
               C   
This little town, this little house,
                  G                         Em               Em
they seem to be leaning in the wrong direction.
D                            Em
   I'm not afraid of you no more.

Em
Ohhhhhh
C

D

Em
  Playing with Fire.
                         C
You know you're going to hurt somebody tonight.
             D
When you're   out on a wire,
                    Am      B7
you know you're playing with fire.

Em
Ohhhhhh
