Lyrics

My moth er said I’m too ro (E6)man tic.

She said, “You’re danc ing in the (A)mov ies.”

I al most start ed to be (E6)lieve her,

then I saw you and I (A)knew.

May be it’s ’cause I got a (E)lit tle bit old er; may be it’s all that I’ve been (A)through.

I’d like to think it’s how you (E)lean on my shoul der, and how I see my self with (A)you.

I (F#m)don’t say (Emaj7)a word, but still (B)you (C#m)take my breath and (B)steal the things I know.

There (Emaj7)you go,

sav (B)ing (C#m)me from out of the (B)cold.

Fi re on fi (C#m)re would nor mal ly kill (E)us, but this much de sire to geth er will win (A)us.

They say that we’re out (C#m)of con trol, and some say we’re sin (E)ners; but don’t let them ru (G#m)in our beau ti ful rhy (A)thms.

’Cause when you un fold me and tell me you love me and look in my (C#m)eye,

you are per fec tion, my on ly (Emaj7)di rec tion.

It’s fi re on (C#m)fire.

When we fight, we fight like (E)li ons;

but then we love and feel the (A)truth.

We lose our minds in a (E)cit y of ros es; we won’t a bide by an y (A)rules.

I tion.

It’s fi re on fi re.

Fi re on fi (E)re would nor mal ly kill (E)us, but this much de sire to geth er will win (A)us.

They say that we’re out (C#m)of con trol, and some say we’re sin (E)ners; but don’t let them ru (G#5)in our beau ti ful rhy (A)thms.

Fi re on fi (C#m)re would nor mal ly kill (E)us, but this much de sire to geth er will win (A)us.

They say that we’re out (C#m)of con trol, and some say we’re sin (E)ners; but don’t let them ru (G#m)in our beau ti ful rhy (A)thms.

’Cause when you un fold me and tell me (E)you love me and look in my eyes,

you are per fec tion, my on ly (Emaj7)di rec tion.

It’s fi re on (C#m)fire.

You are per fec tion, my on ly di rec tion.

It’s fi re on (C#m)fire.
