A Fire Only We Know

Tom : A
A D

[Verse 1]
A
Only we know the quiet roads and the vacant malls,
Bm
Or the cool of perfect darkness just outside the sprawl,
F#m E A
Only we heard the drums pumping in the stadium,

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm
And built our truths like fires,
F#m D
in the promised land where we come from,

[Chorus 1]
F#m
And when you look now in my eyes, do you see the boy
Bm F#m
that swore on every inch of you, our light would never die,
D A
Is a bravery inside me, still clinging to my clothes,
Bm A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

[Verse 2]
A
Only we know how good your daddy's records sound,
Bm
Or just how far a fall it is from the window to the ground,
F#m E A
Only we smell the rain just before it comes,

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm
And think first of each other,
F#m D
every time we're burned by love,

[Chorus 2]
F#m
When I look now in your eyes, I still see
Bm F#m
the thing that made us lions, the thing that made us free,
D A
And the bravery inside you, still clinging to your clothes,
Bm A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

[Bridge]
F#m E A F#m E A
Like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke,
F#m E A F#m E A
Like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke,
Bm A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm
And think first of each other,
F#m D
every time we're burned by love,

[Chorus 3]
F#m
And when you look now in my eyes, do you see the boy
Bm F#m
that swore on every inch of you, our light would never die,
D A
Is a bravery inside me, still clinging to my bones,
Bm A
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
