• Capo on 1st

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
 Am                                                 C
Door clicks while his wheels start spinning on the pavement
    Am                                         C
And I go fill the space up where he has been staying
G                     F
Won't lose much sleep, he never went that deep
    Am                                         C
"Love you," oh, you sweet thing, no, I never said that
 Am                                     C
Let me hold your ego while you get your bag packed
  G                   F
Don't take this the wrong way
             G
But when the spade shows up, I call it by its first name

Chorus:
 F                                Am
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
                          G
We'd've burned up in the flames
                       F
Long before they ever rose up higher
   F                                  Am
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold, but I do now
          G           F                                Am
So I'll know what it feels like when I feel fire, fire


Post-Chorus:
    C
Mmm, fire

Fire


Verse 2:
 Am                                                   C
Talk, touch, kiss, bend, this one's just like all the others
 Am                                 C
And I know all too well that I won't beat the waters
 G                       F
I held my breath to swim
 G
The shallow shores aren't safe enough to dive in


Chorus:
 F                                Am
We were, we were never gonna catch fire
                           G
We'd've burned up in the flames
                        F
Long before they ever rose up higher
    F                                 Am
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold, but I do now
          G             F                               Am
So I'll know what it feels like when I feel fire, fire


Bridge:
                C
That comes-and-stays fire
               Em
On-blood-and-veins fire
                 C
I've only ever wanted fire
 F
In my chest, in my mouth, on my tongue, in my mind

In my soul, so my lungs can breathe in fire

F   Am

Chorus:
                         G
We'd've burned up in the flames
                        F
Long before they ever rose up higher
                                      Am
Someday, I, I won't have to feel the cold, but I do now
         G             F                      F
So I'll know what it feels like when I feel fire, fire
