Intro:
Bb C Bb C

Bb                       C
 When I touch you I can feel you shivering
Bb                         C
 I can feel your heart is beating fast
Bb        C                    Bb  C
 We are alone in this crowded room

Bb                     C
 Oh, tonight there is something happening
Bb                               C
 And it's something that should never be
Bb               C                 Dm                 
 But there's a flame over you and me

                    Eb  Bb      F
 And I can see the fire on the water
                Eb           Bb          C
 I can see the light shining in your eyes
                Dm     C      Bb
 I know that I can't stop it now
                   Dm            C           Bb
 'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun

Bb                     C
 There's a place in an ancient fortress
Bb                      C
 High above the worries of the world
Bb              C                     Bb  C
 I'd love you there for a long, long time

Bb                           C
 And we'll discover all our deepest secrets
Bb                       C
 And let the spirit go flying free
Bb          C                    Dm
 Until the dawn breaks over the sea

                    Eb  Bb      F
 It's burning like fire on the water
                Eb           Bb          C
 I can see the light shining in your eyes
                Dm     C      Bb
 I know that I can't stop it now
                   Dm            C           Bb
 'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun
                 Dm            C           Bb
 Yes, I've been caught in the heat of the sun
              Am      Dm
 Oh, let it shine on me

Eb Bb F
Eb Bb C

              Dm       C      Bb 
 I know that I can't stop it now
                   Dm            C           Bb
 'Cause I've been caught in the heat of the sun
                 Dm            C           Bb
 Yes, I've been caught in the heat of the sun
              Am      Dm
 Oh, let it shine on me
  Eb  Bb      F
 Fire on the water
  Eb     Bb     F
 Can't stop it now
