VERSE
B        A#         e      C#
 My hopes are like embers lying
      B   A#   C#       F#
Around inside a fire bed and
Your mind is a firewalker
It steps on them like they are dead but

B*    E
I can grow
   B*   A       E
Despite all you know
    B*             E         F#
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
Despite all they say
Become something strange and beautiful

Like joy

VERSE
Me I'm like a wild flame
That catches on whatever's there
But your mind is a firewalker
It sets its course and never leaves (veers?) but

CHORUS
I can grow
Despite all you know
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
Despite all they say
Become something strange and beautiful
Like joy
Like joy

VERSE
Take offers from every side
And give my attentions about anywhere
Well do I recognize my actions?
I look like I'm so unaware
    C#      e
But I don't care

CHORUS
I can grow
Despite all you know
You might not recognize me tomorrow
Yes I can change
Despite all they say
Become something strange and beautiful
Like joy
Like joy...
