Em B
Oh my precious ember burning my sweet glowing light
C B
From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine
Em B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C B
And the echo of my mother's words baby don't you play with fire
Em D Em D
I was always playing the part: first love only set by a spark
Em D B
There was no way changing my mind
Chorus:
Em C
Now I'm under your spell trapped in a lie
D B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Em C
No turning back no where to run
D B
No where to hide it's too late to say goodbye

Push back from my heart wish we could go back to the start

But oh my God is this real no more time
B
it's too late it's too late to say goodbye
