And the price is not enough

      Such cruel sport for your kicks

        Such hard knocks on my heart

   How long before the pain ends

🎸 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

   Cold stares and angry words
         Eb              Bb
Fall in pieces from our faces
             Db
We read "do not disturb"
Ab/Eb
      Some lovers just go hungry
Dm7(5-)
        Others beg for just a bite
Db
   You use me under pressure
Eb
   To what your appetite

   Touched your lips but never mine
