Ab   Ebm   Gb   Dbm
She

Ab          Ebm       Gb          Dbm
lived among hubbering flights and sparks

    Ab            Ebm      Gb     Dbm
She breathed them in, they nested in

    Ab   Ebm   Gb   Dbm
her ears

Ab   Ebm   Gb   Dbm
Life

  Ab           Ebm      Gb     Dbm
is toying with bringing back a-gain

    Ab        Ebm      Gb         Dbm
The tool that planes a-gainst the grain

Now

Ab           Ebm        Gb    Dbm
too much has passed but never mind

        Ab         Ebm       Gb     Dbm
Because everything turns out nicely in the

Ab           Ebm    Gb    Dbm
summer time

Ab       Ebm   Gb   Dbm
There's

Ab       Ebm   Gb     Dbm
Too many irons in the fire

        Ab   Ebm       Gb   Dbm
There's iron loss from iron gain

    Ab   Ebm      Gb   Dbm
And iron sadness, iron pain
[Chorus]
        Ab       Ebm   Gb    Dbm
There's too many irons to re-gret

    Ab   Ebm   Gb     Dbm
Too many irons to for-get

             Ab       Ebm   Gb     Dbm
that there's too many irons in the fire

    Ab   Ebm   Gb     Dbm
Too many Irons in the fire

Of iron love for iron hate
