(Intro is played twice before Chris sings) 

You stole me away with the mitts of a Midas 
You held me till I turned into gold 
And the pleas we made to the sheets there beside us 
Said we never ever wanna grow old 

Now this bed's caught fire 
And the flame returns 
And I'll lay with you waitin' just 
Quietly bracin' for the crash and burn 

 

      C#m 
It'll come in the night, it won't make a sound 
      Bm 
It'll all be over real soon 
       C#m 
'Cause fallin' in love is just like fallin' apart 
            Bm 
And there's nothin' I can do 
         D 
No this ain't just a spark honey I'm 
E 
Fallin' apart with you

Hot through the curtains the daylight's upon us 
And it's singing your praises loud 
And I can't say for certain I could keep every promise 
But I could make 'em all right now 

Cause this bed's caught fire 
And the flame returns 
And it rings like a symphony the 
Prettiest revelry you ever heard 


      C#m 
It'll wake up the neighbors, it'll shake through the ground 
      Bm 
It'll break through the bricks and the blues 
       C#m 
'Cause fallin' in love is just like fallin' apart 
            Bm 
And there's nothin' I can do 
         D 
No this ain't just a spark honey I'm 
E 
Fallin' apart with you 

(Play Intro twice before the Bridge) 

       A 
It'll crash with a quiet crescendo 
      C#m 
It'll crack through the glass of your walls 
      Bm 
It'll follow you wherever that you go 
      D 
'Till all that you can do is crawl 
      A 
It'll strike up a conversation 
       C#m 
And every word it says is true 
       Bm 
It's Heaven's own confirmation 
         D 
No this ain't just a spark honey I'm 
E 
Fallin' apart with you
