C                                              Em    
Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky.    
C                                           Em    
Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die.    
F                                                  Am    
And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time.    
                                   C    
I've been putting out fires all my life.    
                                                    G    
Everybody wants a flame, but they don't want to get burnt.    
G    
And today is our turn.    

C                      Am                        F    
Days like these lead to nights like this leads to love like ours,     
              C                   G    
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.    
C                       Am    
People like us, we don't need that much.    
       F                             C                    G                             
Just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts.    

Verso 2:    
C                                               Em    
This world is getting colder. Strangers passing by.    
C                                                     Em                           
No one offers you a shoulder. No one looks you in the eye.    
F                                             Am    
But I've been looking at you for a long, long time.    
                                                 C    
Just trying to break through, trying to make you mine.    
                                                G    
Everybody wants a flame, they don't want to get burnt    
G    
Well today is our turn.    

C                      Am                        F    
Days like these lead to nights like this leads to love like ours,     
              C                   G    
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.    
C                       Am    
People like us, we don't need that much.    
       F                             C                    G                             
Just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts.
