Lyrics
(Capo on the 1st fret)
Am G/Am7 F#/Am6 Fmaj7
When the last sound I hear is you slamming the door
and I wake to the sight of your emptied-out drawers
When saying, "I love you," is more like a chore
and "I'm sorry" won't hold any weight anymore
Fire: my heart is ablaze
And if I subscribe to that brand of insanity
What does, oh, what does that say about me?
Fire: my heart is ablaze
You stand there defending your lighting the match
In some OCD frenzy: an itch you must scratch
Then you send me in circles for the tail I can't catch
My sulfur, your phosphorous: sit back and watch this fire
(chorus) B7
Glow like an ember in wait Fmaj7 C Em Am } x3
Flow-like, the smoke dissipates
And it's so tight till I suffocate
Then the wind blows right and I detonate into fire Am G E E7
(solo)
When the last sound I hear is you slamming the door
and I wake to the sight of your emptied-out drawers
When saying, "I love you," is more like a chore
and "I'm sorry" won't hold any weight anymore
When I can't shake this feeling we've been here before
And you're back, you're back here to settle the score
Fire: my heart is ablaze
And if I subscribe to that brand of insanity
What does, oh, what does that say about me?
Fire: my heart's on fire
My heart's on fire
My heart is ablaze
