Fire on fire    (video)

 

  Am                                             C

1.      My mother said I'm too romantic,

Em                                                     F

    she said, "You're dancing in the movies".

Am                             C

    I only started to believe her,

Em                                    F

    then I saw you and I knew.

 

   Am                                       C

2.     Maybe it's 'cause I got a little bit older,

Em                                                F

    maybe it's all that I've been through.

Am                                           C

    I'd like to think it's how you lean on my shoulder

Em                                           F       Dm             F

    and how I see myself with you. I don't say a word,

                        Am                              G                       Dm

    but still, you take my breath and steal the things I know.

                       F              Am                          G

    There you go, saving me from out of the cold.

 

            Am                            C

Fire on fire, would normally kill us,

                           Em                             F

but this much desire, together we're winners.

                                Am                                                  C

They say that we're out of control and some say we're sinners,

                             Em                          F

but don't let them ruin our beautiful rhythms.

                                 Dm                                 F

'Cause when you unfold me and tell me you love me,

                        Am     - G                    Dm                        F

and look in my eyes,        you are perfection, my only direction.

 

                     Am                          Em     - F

+  It's fire on fire, mm, it's fire on fire.

 

   Am                                            C

3.    When we fight, we fight like lions,

Em                                                F

    but then we love and feel the truth.

Am                                     C

    We lose our minds in a city of roses,

Em                                    F          Dm              F

    we won't abide by any rules. I don't say a word,

                        Am                              G                       Dm

    but still, you take my breath and steal the things I know.

                      F               Am                          G

    There you go, saving me from out of the cold.
