Song On Fire

Intro: F#m  A  Bm  D

F#m
The first words that come out
    A
And I can see this song will be about you
         Bm
I can't believe that I can breathe without you
D
But all I need to do is carry on
    F#m
The next line I write down
            A
And there's a tear that falls between the pages
   Bm
I know that pain's supposed to heal in stages
          D
But it depends which one I'm standing on

   F#m                    A
I write lines down, then rip them up
   Bm                 D
Describing love can't be this tough

A                               E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F#m                                D
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
 A                            E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
F#m                                  D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much

Unless I sing this song to you

( F#m  A  Bm  D )

     F#m
I'm dying to show you
       A
This could end happily ever after
               Bm
There doesn't ever have to be disaster
             D
And all you have to do is sing along

   F#m                    A
I write lines down, then rip them up
   Bm          D
Impossible describing love

A                               E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F#m                                D
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
 A                            E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
F#m                                  D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much

Unless I sing this song to you

A                         E
I could set this song on fire

Sing this song to you
F#m                       D
I could set this song on fire

  A                             E
Light this old guitar on fire, I'd still hear the notes
 F#m                        D
Drown the melody in water, I'd still hear it's ghost
 A                                E
Sing it with somebody else, but we'd be out of tune
F#m                                  D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much

A                               E
I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke
F#m                                D
I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly
 A                            E
Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon
F#m                                  D
Play it for the world, but it won't mean much

Unless I sing this song to you

A                         E
I could set this song on fire

Unless I sing this song to you
F#m                            D
I could set this, I could set this

I want to sing this song to you
A                         E
I could set this song on fire

Sing this song to you
F#m                            D
I could set this, I could set this
