Intro: Abm

Verse 1:
Abm                  E
Turning on the TV, a man dressed in black says
B                            Ebm
"The tensions and waters are rising"
Abm                   E
Happiness is treason, fiction is fact
      B                     Ebm
And a storm's always on the horizon

Pre-chorus:
  Abm                  E
I hear the alarms, but here in your arms
B                          Ebm
Seems like a fine place to die

Chorus:
(nc)           Abm   E
The world's on fire, I burn
B                    Gb
Happily dancing with you
        Abm       E
Take my body, and I'll be
    B                        Gb
The soul you come crashing into
      Dbm    B      Gb
If it has to be the end
      Dbm    B      Gb
All I ask is that I get
             Abm E
To burn with you
             B   Gb
To burn with you

Verse 2:
Abm                     E
Love me like a scandal, wreck me like a wave
        B                     Ebm
Take me back to the place I remember
Abm                      E
We could light a candle, put a record on
        B                   Ebm
'Til we turn into ashes and embers

Pre-chorus:
  Abm                  E
I hear the alarms, but here in your arms
B                          Ebm
Seems like a fine place to die

Chorus:
(nc)           Abm   E
The world's on fire, I burn
B                    Gb
Happily dancing with you
        Abm       E
Take my body, and I'll be
    B                        Gb
The soul you come crashing into
      Dbm    B      Gb
If it has to be the end
      Dbm    B      Gb
All I ask is that I get
             Abm E
To burn with you
       B           Gb
To bur-urn with you

Bridge:
Abm            Gb
Breathe me in, breathe me out
 Db                 E
'Til the walls come crumbling down
Abm            Gb
Pull me close, love me now
 Db                  E
'Til there's nothing left of this town
Abm            Gb
Breathe me in, breathe me out
 Db                 E

Abm            Gb           Db          E
Pull me close, love me now, love me now-ow

        Abm      E
To burn with you

To bur-urn with you
