This tab is meant to support the vocal melody, which differs from the backing chords.
If you would like to follow the backing chords, use them below as provided by Fractool:

D G D - Bm Em
D G D - Bm G
D G D - Bm A
D G D - Bm G

Em G x4

Also, G/F# is optional. I like to use it as a transition chord.

[Intro Refrain]
D         G     A7
This fire grows higher
D         G     A7
This fire grows higher
D         G     A7
This fire grows higher
D         G     A7
This fire grows higher

[Verse 1]
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart
           D                                  A      G
An endless yearning in your heart

         D
Build it bigger than the sun
       G
Let it grow, let it grow
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart
         D
Don't be alarmed

[Refrain]
D         G     A7
This fire grows higher

[Verse 2]
               D                              A      G
When there's a doubt within your mind
               D                              A      G
Because you're thinking all the time
        D
Framing rights into wrongs
     G
Move along, move along
               D                              A      G
When there's a doubt within your mind

[Verse 3]
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart
        D                                     A      G
And you think it'll burst apart
           D
Or there's nothing to feel
         G
Save the tears, save the tears
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart

[Bridge]
           Em                              Em7
And if you feel just like a tourist in the city you were born
                 G        G/F#
Then it's time to go
                Em
And define your destination
               Em7                      G        G/F#
There's so many different places to call home
                      Em                          Em7
Because when you find yourself the villain in the story you have written
             G        G/F#
It's plain to see
         Em                               Em7
That sometimes the best intentions are in need of redemptions
         G        G/F#
Would you agree?
      A7          D
If so please show me

[Refrain]
D         G     A7
This fire grows higher
D         G     A7
This fire grows higher

[Outro]
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher)
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher. This fire grows higher)
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher. This fire grows higher)
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart (This fire grows higher. This fire grows higher)
               D                              A      G
When there's a burning in your heart...
