Chords

The song is written in Ab, and is easier to play with a capo on the first fret "as if" in the key of G. [Intro] G Em G C (x2) [Verse 1]
     Em
The rain is on his head

         D
And my love is out on the ledge

            C    G               D
Get to the bonfire and get undressed

    Em
My boots are caked with clay

                   D
These clothes are loose
And my appetite's gone
                         C    G
We'll throw them in the bonfire where we belong
[Chorus]
C          Em
All of us shaking

G
Wounded and naked

                  C
Like a sunburned kiss

        Em
We are changing

G
Fighting for the same thing

                    C
With the light that lifts

       D                      G
And I wanna know you for the way you are

              C
Not the way I am

          D
So let's go now

            C    G             D
Back to the bonfire where we began
[Verse 2]
Em
I slope back into my tinted shade

    D
To shake out the vertigo

               C                     G
You know, the only one who got any sleep last night was

   D
A grumpy volcano

Em 
Up before the drunks come home

      D
With sleep still in our eyes

                 C   G              D
To see another bonfire bleed in the sky
[Chorus]
C          Em
All of us shaking

G
Wounded and naked

                  C
Like a sunburned kiss

        Em
We are changing

G
Fighting for the same thing

                    C
With the light that lifts

       D                      G
And I wanna know you for the way you are

              C
Not the way I am

          D
So let's go now

            C    G             D
Back to the bonfire where we began

            C    G             D
Back to the bonfire where we began
[Bridge]
C          D
I remember you were there, 

                    Em
Holding up the universe

               C                  D
I watched the wind playing with your hair

                             Em
And that love had run it's course

                     D           G
Why's there only one word for love 

                            Em
And all it's beautiful curses?
[Chorus]
C          Em
All of us shaking

G
Wounded and naked

                  C
Like a sunburned kiss

        Em
We are changing

G
Fighting for the same thing

                    C
With the light that lifts

       D                      G
And I wanna know you for the way you are

              C
Not the way I am

          D
So let's go now

            C    G             D
Back to the bonfire where we began

            C    G             D
Back to the bonfire where we began
[Outro]
            C    G             D
Back to the bonfire where we began
