Verse 1:
 G                      Bm                      A
Started as a simple lie, thinking love had chose us
G                           Bm            A
We would talk into the night and nobody noticed
        G          Bm          A
And I held on to every word, couldn't let you go and called it hope
     G             Bm           A
Now I’m so low, I can't ignore, we only ever made it worse

Chorus:
     D                  A                     G
Then we become a brush fire, burning all the pain
D              A                   G        A
How can we survive a desert without rain?
     D                     A               G
And all along, your promise is that you're changing
   D                  G      D           G
Boy, you know what to say, before I turn away
            A             Em   D   A    G
Your words hit me like a hard rain in L.a.

Verse 2:
  G                           Bm                 A
Scared to turn and look behind, think I’d see you hurting
      G                       Bm                 A
And even when I close my eyes, I feel like the burden (Oh)
     G              Bm
But I'm not yours anymore
   A                     Gb
Everything you broke is ash and smoke
     G             Bm               A
Now I'm so low, I can't ignore, we only ever made it worse

Chorus:
     D                     A                  G
Then we become a brush fire, burning all the pain
D                 A                G       A
How can we survive a desert without rain?
     D                     A                G
And all along, your promise is that you're changing
   D                   G     D            G
Boy, you know what to say, before I turn away
            A            Em   D    A    G
Your words hit me like a hard rain in L.a.

D                      A                 G
We become a brush fire, burning all the pain

How can we survive a desert without rain?
     D                   A                 G

            A              Em  D   A    G
Your words hit me like a hard rain in L.a.
