[Intro] C G x2 [Verse]
           C
You went into the kitchen cupboard
Got yourself another hour
        F
And you gave

              Am
Half of it to me

             C
We sat there looking at the faces
Of these strangers in the pages
F                            Am
'Til we knew 'em mathematically

                 Dm
They were in our minds

      F
Until forever

              Dm
But we didn't mind

               G
We didn't know better
[Verse]
      C
So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces

        F                                  Am
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives

   C
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
       F                               Am
And it called that calculation perfect love

            Dm                 F
Didn't even know that love was bigger

            Dm
Didn't even know

              G
That love was so, so
Hey Hey Hey [Chorus]
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'

C          F
Burnin' us up

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'

C
Burnin' us..

Dm
Up
[Bridge]
Bb
Ohhhhh

F
Ohh Ohh Ohh
[Verse]
      C
So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
         F
Past our muscles and our bones

        Am
Saw our hearts were little stones

           C
Pulled 'em out they weren't beating
And we weren't even bleeding
      F                             Am
As we lay 'em on the granite counter top

            Dm
We beat 'em up

             F
Against each other

            Dm
We beat 'em up

             F
Against each other

              Dm
We struck 'em hard

             F
Against each other

              Dm
We struck 'em so hard

                   C
So hard until they sparked
[Chorus]
         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'

C          F
Burnin' us up

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'

C          F
Burnin' us up

         F
Hey this fire it's burnin'

C
Burnin' us..

Dm
Up
[Outro]
