House of Heroes – A Fire Only We Know (Guitar)

         A
Only we know the quiet roads and the vacant malls,

       Bm
Or the cool of perfect darkness just outside the sprawl,

        F#m              E                      A
Only we heard the drums pumping in the stadium,

     Bm
And built our truths like fires,

        F#m                         D
in the promised land where we come from,

                                         F#m
And when you look now in my eyes, do you see the boy

      Bm                             F#m
that swore on every inch of you, our light would never die,

       D                        A
Is a bravery inside me, still clinging to my clothes,

      Bm                             A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

         A
Only we know how good your daddy's records sound,

   Bm
Or just how far a fall it is from the window to the ground,

         F#m            E                    A
Only we smell the rain just before it comes,

     Bm
And think first of each other,

F#m                         D
every time we're burned by love,

                             F#m
When I look now in your eyes, I still see

     Bm                           F#m
the thing that made us lions, the thing that made us free,

          D                         A
And the bravery inside you, still clinging to your clothes,

      Bm                             A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

     F#m       E           A                 F#m   E   A
Like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke,     

     F#m       E           A                 F#m   E   A
Like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke,  

      Bm                             A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

     Bm
And think first of each other,

F#m                         D
every time we're burned by love,

                                         F#m
And when you look now in my eyes, do you see the boy

      Bm                             F#m
that swore on every inch of you, our light would never die,

       D                        A
Is a bravery inside me, still clinging to my bones,

      Bm                             A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

      Bm                             A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

      Bm                             A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
