[Intro] G (4x) G GM7 G7 Cadd9 (2x) [Verse]
           G                          GM7
The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips

        G7                            Cadd9
In slow currents, and I watch as your face is framed in its

     G                  GM7
Slow currents, drifting curls, a trailing path

   G7                  Cadd9                  G
A long drag becomes a tress of blue and ash
[Chorus]
                 Cadd9                         Em7
If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn

        Cadd9                G
Burn as brightly as we can

                   Cadd9                   Em7
And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames

       Cadd9                 G
Let it burn all the way down
[Verse]
           G
The air is visceral around us

        GM7                         G7
Turning in its simple steps on slow currents

                  Cadd9                   G    GM7     G7
And I watch as it pirouettes and spins in slow motion

                     Cadd9        Em7
A long drag becomes a slow dance

         Cadd9       G
In a halo of ember
[Chorus]
                 Cadd9                         Em7
If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn

        Cadd9                G
Burn as brightly as we can

                   Cadd9                   Em7
And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames

       Cadd9   Am7      F#
Let it burn all the way down
[Bridge]
        G
All the way down

       F#
And if this is ever meant to end

       G
Then I hope it ends where it began

   F#
So hot with love, we burned our hands

   G
If this is ever meant to end

       F#
Then I hope it ends where it began

            Cadd9         Am7    F#      G
So hot with love, it burns our hands
[Chorus]
                 Cadd9                         Em7
If it is born in flames, then we should let it burn

        Cadd9                G
Burn as brightly as we can

                   Cadd9                   Em7
And if it’s got to end, then let it end in flames

       Cadd9     G
Let it burn

        Cadd9
(Let it burn)
[Outro]
               Em7
If it’s got to end

        Cadd9
(Let it burn)

               G
If it’s got to end

        Cadd9
(Let it burn)

                   Em7
It ends where it began

            Cadd9    Am7       G
So hot with love, it burns our hands
[Outro] G
