[Pre-Chorus]
        EbIn (x43121@3)the dark of this place

             C#mThere's (x13321@4)the dust on the screen
          B (x2444x@1)    B/F#Of (x2444x@1)this broken machine
       EbAnd (x43121@3)I can't help but feel
           G#m (133111@4)That I've made some mistake
             C#mBut (x13321@4)I let it go
   
Ya Hey 
   BYa (x2444x@1)Hey

Ya Hey

[Chorus]
EThrough (022100@1)the fire and through the flames

B (x2444x@1)                EOnly (022100@1)"I am that I am"

But who could ever live that way?
F# (244322@1)        
(Ya Hey x2)
BUt (x2444x@1)Deo, Ya Hey
EUt (022100@1)Deo, Deo

[Verse 2]
Oh, the motherland don't love you
The fatherland don't love you
So why love anything?
Oh, good God
The faithless they don't love you
The zealous hearts don't love you
And that's not gonna change

[Pre-Chorus]
All the cameras and files
All the paranoid styles
All the tension and fear
Of a secret career
And I think in your heart
That you've seen the mistake
But you let it go
Ya Hey (x3)

[Chorus]

[Middle 8]
BOutside (x2444x@1)the tents, on the festival grounds
EAs (022100@1)the air began to cool, 
BMy (x2444x@1)soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound
F#Of (244322@1)you spinning "Israelites"

Into "19th Nervous Breakdown"

[Chorus]

[Refrain]
Through the fire and through the flames
You won't even say your name
Only "I am that I am"
But who could ever live that way?
(Ya Hey x2)
Ut Deo, Ya Hey
Ut Deo, Deo
