I come to you with strange fire, I

The incense of my soul is burned

..by the fire in my blood

I come with a softer answer to the

..questions that lie in your path

I want to harbor you from the

..anger, find a refuge from the

..wrath

   This is a message,      a

..message of love

   Love that moves from the inside

..out,     love that never grows

..tired

   I come to you (I come to you)

..with strange fire,      fire

Mercenaries of the shrine, now who

..are you to speak for god?

With haughty eyes and lying

..tongues and hands that shed

..innocent blood

Now who delivered you the power to

..interpret calvary?

You gamble away our freedom to

..gain your own authority

   Find another state of mind, you

..know it's time we all learned to

..grab hold

When you learn to love yourself,

You will learn to burn the icing

CHORDS: E=022100       

..A(9)=x07600 (slide up from E)

        D(9)=x00230     E/A=x02100

..(same as Amaj9)

        B(4)=x24440 (I think Emily

..plays x99800)     A=x02220

The chords for the verse follow

..this strumming pattern,

..alternating

between E & A(9), which is a

..really easy transition.  The

..rhythm is

sorta tricky, but you should be

..able to get it right with a

..little

practice.  (The funny symbols are

..semi-quavers and such.)

The strumming pattern for the D(9)

like this:

Lyrics and chords:

I come to you with strange fire, I

..make an offering of love

The incense of my soul is burned

..by the fire in my blood.

I come with a softer answer to the

..questions that lie in

your path,

I want to harbor you from the

..  anger, find a refuge from the

wrath.

This is a message, a message of

..love.

Love that moves from the inside

..out, love that never grows

tired.

I come to you with strange fire.

Mercenaries of the shrine, now who

..are you to speak for God

With haughty eyes and lying

..tongues, hands that shed

innocent blood.

Now who delivered you the power to

..interpret calvary,

You gambled away our freedom to

..gain your own authority.

Find another state of mind, reach

..out and grab hold.

Strange fire burns with the motion

..of love.

When you learn to love yourself,

..you will dissolve all the       

..    A(9)

stones that are cast.

Now you will learn to burn the

.. icing sky, to melt the waxen

mask.

I said to have the gift of true

..release, here's a peace

that will take you higher.

I come to you with my offering, I

..bring you strange fire.

This is a message, a message of

..love.

Love that moves from the inside

..out, love that never grows

tired.

I come to you with strange fire.

I come to you (I come to you) with

..strange fire.
