 C 
Oh, sweet thing,
              F
Zion doesn't love you,
               G
Babylon don't love you,
                    C
But you love everything.

C
Oh, you saint,
                F
America don't love you,
                  G
So I could never love you,
                   C
In spite of everything.

         F                              G 
In the dark of this place, there's the glow of your face,
             C                           F
There's the dust on the screen, of this broken machine,
       F                            G                            C
And I can't help but feel, that I made some mistake, but I let it go
            F
Ya hey, Ya hey, Ya hey

   F
Through the fire and through the flames
    G                 C                    F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
   F
You won't even say your name
    G                 C                    F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
    F                                     G
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name,
 C                F
Only I am that I am.
 F
But who could ever live that way?
    G                 C                    F                   C
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)

*chords same as first verse*
 C
Oh,
                      F
The motherland don't love you,
                       G
The fatherland don't love you,
                  C
So why love anything?


C
Oh, good God,
                           F
The faithless they don't love you,
                           G
The zealous hearts don't love you,
                         C
And that's not gonna change.
 

           F                          G
All the cameras and files, all the paranoid style,
            C                       F
All the tension and fear, of the secret career
        F                         G                                   C
And I can't help but think, that you see the mistakes, but you let it go
           F
Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Ya Hey


F
Through the fire and through the flames

    G               C                       F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)

F
You won't even say your name
    G                C                     F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F                                         G
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name,
C                   F
You say I am that I am.
F
But who could ever live that way?
   G                  C                    F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)

C
Outside the tents, on the festival grounds,
F
As the air began to cool, and the sun went down,
G
My soul swooned, as I faintly heard the sound,
G7
Of you spinning Israelites, into 19th Nervous Breakdown

F
Through the fire and through the flames
    G                 C                     F
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F
You won't even say your name
    G                 C                     G
(Ya Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey, Yo De-O Hey, Ya Hey)
F                                        G
Through the fire and through the flames, you won't even say your name,
C                 F
Only I am that I am.
F
But who could ever live that way?

G            C           F
What De-O, Ya Hey, What De-O, O
