πΈ Intro:
Em C D
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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 πΈ Solo:
Em C D Em C D
Em C D Em C D
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
πΈ 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
