[Verse 1]
D
I think I'll go down in flames
F#
Wouldn't ask you to join me
F#
Cause that would be insane
D
But you could warm your hands
G A
I would stake out your place right here next to me
[Verse 2]
D
They will come from miles away
F#
Cause it's cold outside
F#
And they need a place
D
To rub on their hands and feet
G A
What better time and place than here?
[Chorus]
A G
Cause you've become a fire for me
D
Ever since you turned eighteen, love
G
And then you said that love was
D
Just some sort of passing thing
G
You've become a fire in me
D
Ever since you turned eighteen
G A
And the cold ain't so cold
Bm A7 D
When you hold yourself to me
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
They will come from miles away
F#
In your honor
D
In their Sunday best of sleeveless shirts and winter coats
G A
Oh they've been waiting for this for years
[Verse 4]
D
You can see it in their eyes
F#
There's a fire there
D
But it's not that I'm on fire, yeah it's deep inside
G A
They're jumping to the peppered sky
[Chorus]
A G
Cause you've become a fire for me
D
Ever since you turned eighteen, love
G
And then you said that love was
D
Just some sort of passing thing
G
You've become a fire in me
D
Ever since you turned eighteen
G A
And the cold ain't so cold
Bm A7 D
When you hold yourself to me

Dm Gm C F
Look! You can see it in their eyes
Bb A D
They're afraid that they'll catch fire
Dm Gm C F
Cause I told them, they're filled with gasoline
Bb A D
Cause it's what my heart desires
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
D
All these little birds, are chirping in their worlds
G A D
Twenty feet above the street where our footprints are heard
[Outro]
D
You're wearing it down, you know, when you walk like that
G A
We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs
D
And you're wearing it down, you know, when you walk like that
G A
We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs
D
Yeah you're wearing it down, you know, when you walk like that
G A
We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smalls of our backs
D
Yeah you're wearing it down, you know, when you walk like that
G A D
We're not supposed to carry ourselves in the smaaaaaalls of our backs
