Starting Fires Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I k[D]eep l[G]ightingfires, and
I keep punching walls
[D]I keep holding my breath,
an[G]d I keep poking holes
[D]Oh, [G]oh[D][G]
[D]I keep smashing glasses,
and I keep [G]falling down
[D]I lay in the pieces,
and I keep [G]rolling around
[D]Oh, [G]oh[D]

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Em][F#m][G][D][G]

[Verse 2]
[G]I'll sleep on my sofa and
you can sleep in my bed
[D]I'll never feel whole,
but [G]you're as close as I'll get
[D]Oh, [G]oh[D]
[G]

[Verse 3]
[G]You can be the [D]husband,
[G]I can be your wif[D]e
[Em]We can p[D]retend we ca[G]n
cope with real [D]life
[Em]White picket [D]fences [G]and stable jobs
[D]Three [Em]little faces[D] and a[G] couple of dogs

[Verse 4]
[G]You can be the [D]husband,
[G]I can be your wife
We can [D]pretend we'll
[G]get over our strife
[Em]Having [G]conversa[F#m]tions [G]we've
never had before
You'll be drinking [D]whiskey
[G]as I walk out the door

[Verse 5]
[D]I walk to the seafront and
jump in [G]fully clothed (oh)
And [D]I keep wandering aimless, oh shit,
I [G]don't even know [D](oh)[G][D][G]
[D]Woah,woah

[Verse 6]
I keep starting fires, and I keep poking holes
I keep holding my breath
cause I am nothing at all
