Let me be clear

Look in my eyes

Don’t be surprised

In what you find
A
All that you see is true

[Chorus]
A B
I don’t want to have a horse in the running
E/G# C#m
I don’t want to spread the news of the storm that is a coming

Be another day older

I just want to be your man

Into the fire

Into the fire I choose

[Bridge]
C#m E
Daddy was a fool when he walked out on the wire

Never turned back again

With baby blues eyes
