 It used to be a sweet sensation

  How long before the pain ends

  Tell me where living starts

And lovers leap off burning buildings

  Waking up on a sky high wire
Dm7(5-)
    Desperation leaves us clinging
DbDb
  On the edge of a house on fire

  Lovers leap off burning buildings

  Live our life on borrowed time

  Touched your lips but never mine

  Lovers leap off burning buildings

Fall in pieces from our faces

  You use me under pressure

  To what your appetite
