   G               G7               C
My mind knows full well I shouldn't be here

       D                                 G     D
But my heart, my foolish heart, will not learn

    G               G7         C
She fills me with a crazy wild desire

           G           D                  G  C  G
And, lying helpless, I know just how I'll burn
[Chorus]
            D              C                  G
Back in the fire, where my heart must long to be

      Em              A7                C                D
If it wasn't so, then why, oh, why does it keep dragging me

     D  C#  C           G         D    C
Back in the fire to the flames of ecstasy?

             G          D                     G
I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me
[Interlude] D C# C D G D [Verse 2]
   G                   G7       C
At times, I've gone as far as believing

     D                                 G    D
This tortured soul of mine was finally free

           G           G7       C
Then those long silent leftover feelings

             G                  D             G  C  G
Say I'm a pretender and I'll surrender willingly
[Chorus]
            D              C                  G
Back in the fire, where my heart must long to be

      Em              A7                C                D
If it wasn't so, then why, oh, why does it keep dragging me

     D  C#  C           G         D    C
Back in the fire to the flames of ecstasy?

             G          D                     Em    C
I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me

             G          D                     G  D C G
I guess I'll always love the way she burns in me
