When We Were On Fire

James Bay

Composed by: James Bay / Jon Green
key: Dm Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro] Dm Dm/C Dm Em/D (2x)

[Verse 1]
Dm       Dm/C              Dm              Em/D (repeat)
Drifting apart, getting hard to hold you

Days getting dark and the nights are growing cold
            Bb               Gm
Are we burning out?

Dm       Dm/C              Dm              Em/D (repeat)
Swept out of sight, rolling up on an ocean

Let's cut all the ropes and get lost in the moment
         Bb                   Gm                               Dm Dm/C Dm Em/D
If our hearts are alive, maybe then we might
Send us back to the sun

[Chorus]
           Bb       F
Now I know, I know
                 A7                    Dm      C
That we're losing light, our love is dying
Bb                      F
Out cold on the floor
          A7                    Dm         C
Like a fallen star that shines no more
Bb                      F          A7                     Dm
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before
           C                Bb F                 Gm Dm Dm/C
When we were on fire,           fire

[Verse 2]
Dm                      Dm/C                               Em/D (Repeat)
Head down, heading underground feeling wasted
Cold to the bone, so alone I can taste it
        Bb            Gm Gm/A
Let's light it up
Dm                      Dm/C                               Em/D
Streets are alive now, and everything's bracing
Dm                                                       Em/D      Bb     Gm
You're on my mind, running in my veins fueling the flame
Let's start it again

[Chorus]
           Bb       F
Now I know, I know
                 A7                    Dm      C
That we're losing light, our love is dying
Bb                      F
Out cold on the floor
          A7                    Dm         C
Like a fallen star that shines no more
Bb                      F          A7                     Dm
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before
           C                Bb F                 Gm Dm Dm/C
When we were on fire,           fire
           C                Bb F                 Gm Dm Dm/C
When we were on fire,           fire

[Verse 3]
Dm
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no
That we're burning down
Oh, oh, whoa, oh, whoa-oh-oh, now don't tell me no
That we're burning now

[Chorus]
Bb           F              A7                                 Dm      C
I know, I know we're losing light and our love is dying
Bb                            F
Take me, take-a-me home
A7                                 Dm    Dm/C              Bb F              Gm Dm Dm/C
Back to where we was before when we were on fire,               fire
           Bb       F
Now I know, I know
                 A7                    Dm      C
That we're losing light, our love is dying
Bb                      F
Out cold on the floor
          A7                    Dm         C
Like a fallen star that shines no more
Bb                      F          A7                     Dm
Take, take-a-me back to where we was before
           C                Bb F                 Gm Dm Dm/C
When we were on fire,           fire
