[Intro]
Em C D
[Verse 1]
Em C D I think my heart was designed to fade and lose color Em C D To turn inside out and wash in the rain Em C D It loses all perfection in cold water Em C D So the desired look is obtained
[Chorus]
Em Bm C And it rises higher and higher Bm C Like this filthy heat above the city sky Em Bm C And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire D C D Em As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move
[Verse 2]
Em C D So love is spent dancing in the fire Em C D Too high the cost and too quick the pain Em C D And all that's left for the outsider C D Em Is ashes from dancing in the fire
[Verse 3]
Em C D I think my eyes were made for deception Em C D Interpreting lovers will call what they want the truth Em C D With all I have seen burning behind these mirrors Em C D The reflection they see is all that I pursue
[Chorus]
Bm C And it rises higher and higher Bm C Like this filthy heat above the city sky Em Bm C And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire D C D Em As if I'm only here to prove there are mountains I could move
[Verse 4]
Em C D So love is spent dancing in the fire Em D Too high the cost and too quick the pain Em C D And all that's left for the outsider C D Em F Ashes from dancing in the fire
[Bridge]
F Em And voices get louder F Em And the air's too thick to breathe C G Still I lie awake and I wait for the unknown power F G Dying for want of sleep
[Sax Solo]
Em C D Em C D
Em C D Em C D
[Verse 5]
Em C D I think my life line was stolen from a movie Em C D The one where they are trying to solve the crime Em C D But this prisoner is always one step before them Em C D And everyone's running trying to stop me in time
[Chorus]
Bm C And it keeps rising higher and higher Bm C Like this filthy heat above the city sky Bm C And I feel like I'm going mad dancing in the fire Em D As if I'm only here to prove C D There are lovers I could move
[Outro]
Em C D Oh love is spent dancing in the fire Em C D Too high the cost and too quick the pain Em C D And all that's left for the outsider Em D Em Ashes from dancing in the fire D Em C D Em Ashes from dancing in the fire
