C Am G Dm
She stood on the steps behind a man
C Am G Dm
He lit a cigarette and leaned on the rail
Bm G F E
The smell of burning made her head clear
Thinking all the thoughts she hadn't thought for years
Am C F Dm
Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost
Old friends go to war
Love comes love goes
Am C F G
Everything that we have echoes what we desire
She prefers fire

C Am G Dm
Tomorrow no plan will carry her away
C Am G Dm
This evening the man well he wonders what to say
Bm G F E
The sparks are lighting up the night sky
Possessions, letters now just fuel for history
Am C F Dm
Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost
Old friends go to war
Love comes love goes
Am C F G
Everything that we have echoes what we desire
She prefers fire

Em D C
And from the bridge she's seen
Water pale and green
She still prefers fire
Bm G F E
Am G Dm
Sometimes I dream that everything I own
Could burn up and
Leave me no sadness no home
Bm G F E
A flame collapsing from the inside
Antiseptic, honest blue and purest white

Am C F Dm
Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost
Old friends go to war
Love comes love goes
Am C F G
Everything that we have echoes what we desire
She prefers fire
