After the fire is gone    (video)    (intro)

 

  E                          E7                       A                      E

Love is where you find it, when you find no love at home,

                     E                                B7                    E

and there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone.

1. The bottle is almost empty, the clock just now struck ten,

      E                                                                      B7

    darling, I had to call you to our favorite place again.

               E                        E7                           A                          E

    We know it's wrong for us to meet, but the fire's gone out at home,

                         E                               B7                     E

    and there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone.

 

  E                          E7                       A                      E

Love is where you find it, when you find no love at home,

                     E                                B7                     E

and there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone.

2. Your lips are warm and tender, your arms hold me just right,

                 E                                                                                 B7

    sweet words of love you remember that the one at home forgot.

              E                           E7                 A                             E

    Each time we say is the last time, but we keep a hanging on,

                         E                               B7                     E

    and there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone.

 

  E                          E7                       A                      E

Love is where you find it, when you find no love at home,

                     E                                B7                     E

and there's nothing cold as ashes after the fire is gone.
