Our Flame chords by Aimee Carty

Verse 1:
 D
I put oil on our fire

Just a drop every night
 A/C#  Bm
'Cause I get scared of what'll happen

If it doesn't stay alight
 A/C#    G
And at this stage it only flickers

And it leaves me feeling torn
 A
'Cause to have it is so comforting

But it doesn't keep me warm


Verse 2:
 D
And I think back to the days

When it would blaze all on its own
 A/C#   Bm
It's such a haze in many ways
 A/C#
But I remember it felt like home
 G
And I've tried to be real careful

Making sure the flame sticks around
 A
But deep down I know well
 D
It's better off letting it just Go out


Verse 3:
 D
I put oil on our fire

Try to make it a little stronger
A/C#   Bm
Try to make it a little brighter

Make it last just a little longer
A/C#  G
Oh, I guess that if it has to wilt away so soon, so be it
 A
It's sad that we had everything

But simply didn't see it


Verse 4:
 D
'Cause it was beautiful, y'know

Oh, it would melt the coldest snow
A/C#           Bm
    And it was red, and blue, and gold
 A/C#   G
And somehow it didn't show that it was fading
 A
And now I'm trying to figure out if it's worth saving


Verse 5:
 D
'Cause I put oil on our fire

Just a drop every night
A/C#  Bm
Just enough to keep us on the verge

Of barely getting by
 A/C#      G
And you still act like you don't notice

And I know I should ask why
 A
But I know exactly what you do

You sit there and you sigh


Verse 6:
 D
And then you make me feel like I'm the problem

And then I'd probably cry
 A/C# Bm
And then you'd feel bad and say you're sorry

And then you'll say you'll try
 A/C#      G
And then we'll Go 'round and around like broken
records

And I'll keep pouring fuel on embers
 A
Well, hold on tight to us

When it's so damn obvious


Outro:
 D A/C#   Bm
That our flame is dead
 A/C#    G
But we play pretend
 A
That we don't know
 D    A/C# Bm
And I love you  still
 A/C#   G
Maybe I always will
 A  D
But I have to go
