The whole song can be finger picked and lends itself to the 'clawhammer'
style of picking, where your thumb is playing an alternating bassline whilst
your fingers pick out a melody on the higher strings.

I've tabbed out how you could play the verse using this picking style but feel
free to experiment. I appreciate some people may not be familiar with clawhammer
but it's worth persevering with as it can create a really lovely, lilting, melodic
sound and a thumb pick can help bring out the bass a little more if you so wish.

I also try and put an extra note in here and there as I move to the next chord
to try and link the changes together e.g. the '2' on the A string as you move
from Am to C, a bit like running up or down into chords when strumming.

Another thing I often do when playing in this style is if I have to hold down
an F major shape, rather than use the full barre chord, I'll use my thumb to
play the 6th string. For me, this makes it easier to link the Dm and F by playing
the open 6th string and then just wrapping your thumb over as you place your other
fingers for the F chord.

You can contine this clawhammer style into the chorus but the chord changes
come up quickly so be ready!

This would be my suggestion for the chorus.

Capo @ 1st

[Intro]
Am   C  x4


[Verse 1]
Am                       C
Crossroads and warning signs
      Am                     C
And I just don't how to be inside those boundary lines
       G
But my feet just keep on walking
       Dm
And my eyes keep looking up for
          F     Am
Something new…woah


[Verse 2]
Am                              C
The mountains they keep getting higher
        Am
All the wishing in the world
         C
It won't stop the hands of time
    G                            Dm
And time doesn't care, she moves faster
            F      Am
As I fall behind…woah


[Chorus]
    F
And you could light a city
     G    Am  G  Em  F
With this fire
              G
Never getting smaller
Em        F      G
Only gets wilder
         F
And it’s testing me like crazy
         G        Am      G        Em   F
Just for once I'd like to walk the easy road
            G
Try the ordinary
                       Am
But the fire won't let me


[Verse 3]
Am                         C
Chasing a world of walking wires
Am                            C
All I've ever known is how to follow my desires
       G
And if this is how I'm made
        Dm                                 F         Am
Then my head and heart will always have to fight...woah


[Chorus]
    F
And you could light a city
     G    Am  G  Em  F
With this fire
              G
Never getting smaller
Em        F      G
Only gets wilder
         F
And it’s testing me like crazy
         G        Am      G        Em   F
Just for once I'd like to walk the easy road
            G
Try the ordinary
                       Am
But the fire won't let me


[Bridge]
Am G  F
Oh oh oh

F  G  Am
Oh oh oh

Am Cadd9 G
Oh oh oh


[Chorus]
    F
And you could light a city
     G    Am  G  Em  F
With this fire
              G
Never getting smaller
Em        F      G
Only gets wilder
         F
And it’s testing me like crazy
         G        Am      G        Em   F
Just for once I'd like to walk the easy road
            G
Try the ordinary…

                   Am
But the fire won't let me
