F                          Eb     F7/A
  It used to be a sweet sensation
D7                        Gm
   No price too high for love

Now I pay for this bitter taste
                  Db
And the price is not enough
Ab/Eb
      Such cruel sport for your kicks
Dm7(5-)
        Such hard knocks on my heart
Db
   How long before the pain ends
Eb
   Tell me where living starts

🎸 Chorus:

     Ab
And lovers leap off burning buildings
Cm
   Waking up on a sky high wire
Dm7(5-)
        Desperation leaves us clinging
Db
   On the edge of a house on fire
Ab
   Lovers leap off burning buildings
Cm
   Live our life on borrowed time
Dm7(5-)
        Every flame that ever moved you
Db
   Touched your lips but never mine
Ab                  Cm       F#
   Lovers leap off burning buildings

Fall in pieces from our faces
             Db
We read "do not disturb"

      Some lovers just go hungry

   You use me under pressure

   To what your appetite
