Some of us, we're hardly ever here
                                        E11/D
The rest of us, we're born to disappear

How do I stop myself from being just a number?

How will I hold my head to keep from going under?
A6(9)
Down to the wire
                         B5(9)
I wanted water, but I'll walk through the fire
                            A6(9)
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
                              B5(9)
Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps
                                F#m7(9)
Testing me, testing me, testing me

How did they find me here? What do they want from me?
                                                   E11/D
All of these vultures hiding right outside my door

I hear them whispering, they're tryin' to ride it out

They've never gone this long without a kill before
A6(9)
Down to the wire
                         B5(9)
I wanted water, but I'll walk through the fire
                            A6(9)
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
                              B5(9)
Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps
                                    F#m7(9)
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up, I got to leave this evening
                                                   E11/D
Can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail

Power is made by power being taken

So I keep on running to protect my situation

I wanted water, but I'll walk through the fire

Testing me, testing me, testing me
A6(9)    B5(9)
Ooooooh, ooooooh
F#m7(9)
What'cha gonna do about it? 
F#m7(9)
Don't give up, give up, give up
