        Eb  Db  Eb

[First Part]

F                          Eb     F7/A
  It used to be a sweet sensation
D7                        Gm
   No price too high for love
 Bb/F  Eb           F/Bb
Now I pay for this bitter taste
                  Db
And the price is not enough
Ab/Eb
      Such cruel sport for your kicks
Dm7(5-)
        Such hard knocks on my heart
Db
   How long before the pain ends
Eb
   Tell me where living starts

[Chorus]

     Ab
And lovers leap off burning buildings
Cm
   Waking up on a sky high wire
Dm7(5-)
        Desperation leaves us clinging
Db
   On the edge of a house on fire
Ab
   Lovers leap off burning buildings
Cm
   Live our life on borrowed time
Dm7(5-)
        Every flame that ever moved you
Db
   Touched your lips but never mine
Ab                  Cm       Gb
   Lovers leap off burning buildings

[Second Part]

F                      Eb  F7/A
  No room for conversation
D7                        Gm   Gm/F
   Cold stares and angry words
         Eb              Bb
Fall in pieces from our faces
             Db
We read "do not disturb"
Ab/Eb
      Some lovers just go hungry
Dm7(5-)
        Others beg for just a bite
Db
   You use me under pressure
Eb
   To what your appetite

[Chorus]

     Ab
And lovers leap off burning buildings
Cm
   Waking up on a sky high wire
Dm7(5-)
        Desperation leaves us clinging
Db
   On the edge of a house on fire
Ab
   Lovers leap off burning buildings
Cm
   Live our life on borrowed time
Dm7(5-)
        Every flame that ever moved you
Db
   Touched your lips but never mine
Ab                 Cm       Gb
   Lovers leap off burning buildings
