[Verse 1]
G G G C9 G G G G/F# I stepped outside to have a smoke, but forgot that I had quit Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# Thinking ‘bout her made me sad, though she never would commit. G G G C9 G G G G/F# The lighter sparked in my restless hand, and a tear rolled down my cheek Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# The flickering flame danced and glowed just like she did for me

[Verse 2]
G G G C9 G G G G/F# Her sparkling eyes melted my heart, and made my love ignite. Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# Like the fire burning in my hand, our passion burned so bright. G G G C9 G G G G/F# She’d been burned before, and I do deplore the way that she was treated Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# When she walked out that door, I forever swore to give her everything she needed.
[Chorus]
C C C D/F# G G G/A G/B A single spark is all it takes to set the flame alight. C C C D/F# Em Em Em The fuel burns, it warms the room, and brightens up the night. C C D/F# G G/F# Em Its shape is unpredictable as it flitters in the air C Em Am D A breeze can snuff the flame out, or spread fire everywhere.
[Verse 3]
G G G C9 G G G G/F# She said she wants me in her life, I said I want her, too. Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# She told me she’s devoted, and I hoped she’d follow through. G G G C9 G G G G/F# I asked her if she’d marry me. She said, “Perhaps one day.” Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# I said “How’s about we share a home?” She said, “I’m just not there.”

[Verse 4]
G G G C9 G G G G/F# My love was an inferno that could never be extinguished, Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# But when she told me I was not enough, my scalded heart relinquished. G G G C9 G G G G/F# I would have set myself on fire just to keep her cold hands warm, Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# But no matter how I loved her she would always long for more.
[Chorus]
C C C D/F# G G G/A G/B A single spark is all it takes to set the flame alight. C C C D/F# Em Em Em The fuel burns, it warms the room, and brightens up the night. C C D/F# G G/F# Em Its shape is unpredictable as it flitters in the air C Em Am D A breeze can snuff the flame out, or spread fire everywhere.
[Bridge]
C D Bm Em Was I blinded by the brightness of our passionate romance? C D Bm Em Did the smoke get in my eyes and snap me right out of this trance? C D Bm Em Would anything be different if I’d known this in advance? C Em Am D How could I have known my heart was taking such a chance?
[Verse 5]
G G G C9 G G G G/F# I suppose I should have known that she was too good to be true. Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# Looking back, it’s fair to ask, did I overlook a clue, G G G C9 G G G/F# When we fell in love I tried my best to show her how I cared Em Em Em C9 Em Em Em D/F# When we fell apart, I never guessed I could ever be so scared.
[Outro]
C D Em I tried to hold her close, but she just wanted to be free. C D Em She thought that she could have it all, but it wasn't meant to be. C D Em And in the end, the fire we tended, dimmed as you can see, C D Em 'Cause part-time love is not enough for me. C D G And part-time love, it's not how hearts should be.
