The Fire Inside chords
Bob Seger

Capo I

G C 2x

          G
There's a hard moon rising on the streets tonight,
          C                                          G           C
there's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
            G
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown lights,
          C                        G              C
where the latest neon promises are burning bright

         G
Past the open windows on the darkened streets,
      C                             G           C 
where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
         G
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines,
C
tired new money dressed to the nines
    G
The low life dealers with their bad designs,
        C                      
and the dilettantes with their open minds
       D
You're out on the town, safe in the crowd,
Em
ready to go for the ride
C
Searching the eyes, looking for clues,
        G               D C   G C
there's nowhere you can hide,
           G   C
the fire inside

            G
Well you've been the clubs and the discotheques,
          C                                               G       C
where the deal one another from the bottom of the deck of promises
          G
Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks,
      C                                   G       C
do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
         G
Then the lights go down and they dance real close,
        C                                      G             C
and for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
         G
Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone,
    C
the darkness scatters as the lights flash on
     G
They hold one another just a little too long,
          C
then they move apart and then move on

D
On to the street, on to the next,
Em
safe in the knowledge that they tried
C
Faking the smile, hiding the pain,
G          D C  G C
never satisfied,
           G   C
the fire inside
       G
Fire inside

Solo G C x   D Em C G D C  G C

        G
Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep,
    C
you listen to him dress and you listen to him leave,
         G             C
like you knew he would
    G
You hear his car pull away in the street,
         C
then you move to the door and you lock it,
          G            C
when he's gone for good
         G
Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon,
C                                  G           C
riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
        G
Then it comes to you how it all slips away,
C
youth and beauty are gone one day
   G
No matter what you dream or feel or say,
   C
it ends in dust and disarray
     D
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass,
Em
waves rolling in with the tide
C
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode,
       G           D C  G C
but we cannot be denied,
           G   G C
the fire inside

           G   G C
The fire inside  2x
            G
Burning you up 2x

           G   G C
The fire inside

Solo G C x   D Em C G D C  G C
