[Intro] Dm C [Verse]
Dm                                C
I was born a baby boy a long time ago

Bb                                                      Dm      C
Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow

     Dm                                C
But nights they fall and settle like snow

   Bb                                                    Dm    C
I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go
[Chorus]
Bb                          Dm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire

Bb                          Dm    C Dm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
[Verse]
        Dm                                           C
Now my heart?s a frozen lake where streams used to flow

Bb                                                Dm     C
Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow

 Dm                                                C 
Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows

     Bb                                             Dm   C
The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go
[Chorus]
Bb                          Dm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire

Bb                          Dm    C Dm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
[Verse]
   Bb
My skin like these boulders

     C
Is cracking and older

      F                      Dm
With each passing year that goes

    Bb
My cliff face is crumbling

 C
Silently tumbling

F              Am    Dm
Down to the water below

    Bb
And if I light a match 

        C
I?ll be able to catch

      Am               Bb
The last sun before it goes
[Verse]
       Bb                             Dm
And oh well I think I?m gonna start a fire

     Bb                     Dm
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire

    Bb                          Dm   C
And oh think I?m gonna start a fire now
[Outro] Dm C Am
