EWe (022100@1)play these parlour games
We play at make believe
A (x02220@1) E/G# (143121@4) F#mWhen (244222@1)we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave
A (x02220@1) E/G# (143121@4) F#m (244222@1) B (x2444x@1) EEverybody (022100@1)loves a happy ending but we don't even try
A (x02220@1) E/G# (143121@4) F#mWe (244222@1)go straight past pretending
BTo (x2444x@1)the part where everybody loves to cry
(chorus)
EIndoor (022100@1)fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
BIndoor (x2444x@1)fireworks
EWe (022100@1)swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
A (x02220@1) E/G# (143121@4) F#mThey (244222@1)don't burn up in the sky
But they can dazzle or delight
BOr (x2444x@1)bring a tear
EWhen (022100@1)the smoke gets in your eyes
You were the spice of life
The gin in my vermouth
And though the sparks would fly
I thought our love was fireproof
Sometimes we'd fight in public darling
With very little cause
But different kinds of sparks would fly
When we got on our own behind closed doors
(chorus)
It's time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out
And all that powder's gone to waste
Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through
I'll build a bonfire of my dreams
And burn a broken effigy of me and you
(chorus)
