{intro} 
 

G5  G5              C5          D5    G5  G5              C5      D5 
   When you set a match to your heart, fueling it with bitterness and doubt 
G5  G5                     C5    D5     G5  G5           C5          D5 
   That's the place that once it starts, no amount of tears can put out 
E5    E5              D5      D5            C5         C5           D5    D5 
   I know you're scared, but no one's spared when you play with matches 
           G5               G5    C5  D5 
You got me walking through fire 
           G5               G5    C5  D5 
You got me walking through fire 
 
Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain 

But baby, I'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame 

Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark, consuming all it catches 

And you got me walking through fire 

You got me walking through fire to get to you 

Got me walking through fire (walking through fire) 

You got me walking through fire (walking through fire) 

 
F5          F5        G5        G5      Bb5       Bb5        C5         F5 
   You can see the toll it's taking, you can feel the faith it's shaking 
C5        C5       F5         F5         Bb5   Bb5   D5   D5 
   You can hear the heart it's breaking now 
E5  E5   D5  D5   C5  C5   D5  D5   Bb5  Bb5   C5  C5   F5  F5   E5  E5

A5  A5               D5          E5     A5  A5            D5        E5 
   Baby, I've been burned by the fever,    I've been scorched by desire 
A5      A5          D5       E5              A5    A5        D5  E5 
   But baby, I am not your deceiver or your eloquent liar 
F#5      F#5         E5           E5        D5        D5        B5   E5 
   Your jealous heart is tearing us apart, turning love to ashes 
                A5               A5    D5  E5 
When you got me walking through fire 

You've got me walking through fire to get to you 

Got me walking through fire 

You've got me walking through fire 

You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire) 

You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire) 
         G5          G5      D5  E5 
As the flames shoot higher 
           A5               A5             D5   E5 
You got me walking through fire (through fire),  walking
