🎸 Intro:

Em  C  D


🎸 Verse 1:
Em                     C                       D
I think my heart was designed to fade and lose color
   Em                  C           D
To turn inside out and wash in the rain
   Em              C       D
It loses all perfection in cold water
Em             C         D
So the desired look is obtained

🎸 Chorus:
       Em    Bm         C
And it rises higher and higher
          Bm                         C
Like this filthy heat above the city sky
      Em                  Bm          C
And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
                       D     C                           D    Em
As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move


🎸 Verse 2:
Em         C        D
So love is spent dancing in the fire
Em                C             D
Too high the cost and too quick the pain
    Em              C       D
And all that's left for the outsider
   C          D              Em
Is ashes from dancing in the fire


🎸 Verse 3:
        Em           C        D
I think my eyes were made for deception
  Em                     C                            D
Interpreting lovers will call what they want the truth
     Em              C                    D
With all I have seen burning behind these mirrors
      Em                   C             D
The reflection they see is all that I pursue


🎸 Chorus:
    Bm                  C
And it rises higher and higher
          Bm                    C
Like this filthy heat above the city sky
      Em                  Bm          C
And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
                       D     C                           D    Em
As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move


🎸 Verse 4:
Em         C             D
So love is spent dancing in the fire
Em                              D
Too high the cost and too quick the pain
Em                  C       D
And all that's left for the outsider
C          D          Em        F
Ashes from dancing in the fire


🎸 Bridge:
F              Em
And voices get louder
F                            Em
And the air's too thick to breathe
                      C                      G
Still I lie awake and I wait for the unknown power
F                 G
Dying for want of sleep


Sax 🎸 Solo:

Em  C  D    Em  C  D


🎸 Verse 5:
Em                  C           D
I think my life line was stolen from a movie
    Em                 C                        D
The one where they are trying to solve the crime
         Em       C                    D
But this prisoner is always one step before them
    Em                 C                    D
And everyone's running trying to stop me in time


🎸 Chorus:
       Bm                  C
And it keeps rising higher and higher
          Bm                         C
Like this filthy heat above the city sky
                            Bm        C
And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire
          Em           D
As if I'm only here to prove
C                  D
There are lovers I could move


🎸 Outro:
   Em            C              D
Oh love is spent dancing in the fire
Em           C            D
Too high the cost and too quick the pain
Em                  C          D
And all that's left for the outsider
Em   D                Em
Ashes from dancing in the fire
           D              Em   C  D  Em
Ashes from dancing in the fire
