Chords

[Key of A, but actually in B, so capo up 2 frets] [The chords are just guides; mix in a lot of (9) chords with these. For instance: in the intro, play the A for 5/8 of the measure and A(9) for the last 3/8; same with the G. The D is actually D-D(9)-D-D(9). Dsus is used at the end of the verses, and Asus at the end of choruses.]

[intro]

A               G                D            D
  Well I have spent nights with matches and knives

        A               G         D      D
Leaning over ledges only two flights up

             A             G      D                      D
Cutting my heart, burning my soul, with nothing left to hold

        A             G     D     D
Nothing left, but blood and fire

           A                       G              D                      D
You have spent nights thinking of me, missing my arms but you needed to leave

         A                G                D         D
Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns, hoping I'd learn
(Chorus)
G                D                         A                  A
  But blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold

        G           D                        A                  A
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold

        G            D                 A                    A
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away

                  G                 D  A    A
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe

A               G                       D               D
I am looking for someone who can take as much as I give

A                       G                       D                       D
And'll give back as much as I need, y'know and they still have the will to live

A                               G               D       D
'Cause I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

                A       G       D               D
But I feel forsaken, you know like the things I, I gave away

G                                       D     A             A
And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold

G                D                         A                  A
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold

G                       D              A                  A
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away

G                D              A       A
Won't you wet my fire with your love, won'y you babe hold me now

   A                    G               D       D
I am intense, I'm in need, I'm in pain, I'm in love

   A                    G               D       D
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

   A                    G               D       D
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

G                D                         A                  A
And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold

G                D                         A                  A
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold

G                D                         A                  A
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away

G                D              A       A
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe

G                D              A           A
Won't you wet my fire with your love, baby, hold me

          G              D                  A
