Bonfire Cifras

It's really worth tuning the guitar down to a full step to D-G-C-F-A-D to play this song as it allows you to
play relatively easy chords on every note of the bassline.
 
I'd recommend you play the verses and _the end_ of the chorus progression (2nd Em / D) with barre chords to
perfectly adapt the range of the bass (jumps from E to E = 1 octave.)
 
The fast changes C-Bm-Am are tricky, though. They are so fast indeed that I think it's perfectly fine to
play B/G (x2000x) instead of Bm.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 Em    G                              C
Words, I can hear the whispers about me
       Am G
About me
 Em       G                            C
Hurt, it hurts if I let all the poison in
             Am
If I let them win
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             C  D         Em
When you're mad, make it rain
                             C
You're trying to put my fire out
     Am          Em
You feel better now?
            C   D            Em
Spill your hate, bring your wisdom
                           C
Through it right into my flames
        Am      Em
I want you to know

[Verse 2]
                                          C
Breathe, now I close my eyes and I just breathe
         Am    G
I just breathe
 Em         G                                     C
Hurt, but shit that doesn't kill you makes you strong
            Am
So bring it on
