g d
my opinion could change today

I'm responsible anyway

I dont think before I speak

and I dont know how far my words reach
g d
so wrong nearly every time
b c
that I'm sorry I speak my mind
b c
if what I said is unkind

and now it feels like I'm on fire

these words are not the truth

dont hold it against me
c d
cause I know youre lying too
d b c d
g d
is there any need for apologies
b c
theres no reason to believe
g d
judgments born of my jealous mind
b c
creeping inside outside
g d
connections I've made never follow through
b c
and sooner or later disappoint you
g d
cross you twice when your back is turned
b c
thats how I'll love you
b c
and someone has got to be hurt
d b
now it feels like I'm on fire
c d
it's burning the world through
b
dont let me fall

without someone to hold onto
c d
someone to hold onto
c d
someone to hold onto

| i hate zach braff. but this song is good. if someone broke into my house and was going to kill one of the two and i had to choose which one, i'd pick "on fire" to live. | |

| does anyone know the scrubs episode "my nickname" (season 1 episode 10)? the scene with carla sitting in the bus and leaving j.d. in the rain and then this song fades in... wonderful Zach Braff is doin a great job.. watch "garden state" and listen to the soundtrack, you'll see what i mean | |

| A song about frustration. A guy who is so often misconstrued that he resigns himself to it. | |
