[Eb] [Ebm]
[F] [Eb] [Db]
[Eb] [F]
It used to be a sweet [A] sensation
[F] [D]
No price too high for [Gm] love
[F] Now [Eb] I pay for this bitter [Bb] taste
And the [Db] price is not [Eb] enough
Such grues bought for your [Dm] kicks
Such hard knocks on my [Db] heart
How long before the pain [Eb] ends?
Tell me where living starts
[Ab] And love was lit by burning [Cm] buildings
Waking up on a sky high [Dm] wire
Desperation leaflets [Db] clinging
On the edge of a high lumbar
[Ab] Love was lit by burning [Cm] buildings
Live by life, unborrowed [Dm] time
Every flame that ever moved [Db] you
Touched your lips by the apple [Ab] pine
Love was lit by [Gb] burning buildings
[F] No room for [Eb] conversation
[D] Cold stares and angry [Gm] words
Fall [Eb] in pieces from our [Bb] faces
We read to [Db] not disturb
[Ab] Some lovers get so hungry
[D] I was there for just a bite
[Db] You used me under pressure
[Eb] To end your appetite
[Ab] And love was lit by burning buildings
[Cm] Waking up on a sky high [D] wire
Desperation leaflets clinging
On the edge [Db] of a high [Ab] lumbar
Love was lit by burning [Cm] buildings
Live by life, unborrowed [D] time
Every flame that ever moved [Db] you
Touched your lips by the apple [Ab] pine
