 instance: in the intro, play the A for 5/8 of the measure and  for 
 the last 3/8; same with the G.  The D is actually D D9 D D9.  Dsus

{intro} 
 

A5               G5                D5            D5 
  Well I have spent nights with matches and knives 
        A5               G5         D5      D5 
Leaning over ledges only two flights up 
             A5             G5      D5                      D5 
Cutting my heart, burning my soul, with nothing left to hold 
        A5             G5     D5     D5 
Nothing left, but blood and fire 
           A5                       G5              D5                      D5 
You have spent nights thinking of me, missing my arms but you needed to leave 
         A5                G5                D5         D5 
Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns, hoping I'd learn 
 

G5                D5                         A5                  A5  
  But blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold 
        G5           D5                        A5                  A5 
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold 
        G5            D5                 A5                    A5 
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away 
                  G5                 D5  A5    A5 
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe 
 
I am looking for someone who can take as much as I give 
And'll give back as much as I need, y'know and they still have the will to live 
'Cause I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love 
But I feel forsaken, you know like the things I, I gave away 
 
And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold 
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold 
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away 
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe 
 
I am intense, I'm in need, I'm in pain, I'm in love 
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love 
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love 
 
And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold 
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold 
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away 
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe 
Won't you wet my fire with your love, baby, hold me
