Tom: Em
Intro: Em B
Verse:
Em B
Oh my precious ember burning my sweet glowing light
C B
From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine
Em B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C B
And the echo of my mother's words baby don't you play with fire
Prechorus:
Em D
I was always playing that part
Em D
first love always at that spot
Em D B
There was no way changing my mind
Chorus:
Hold B Em C
[Refrão]
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
D B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Em C
No turning back, no where to run
D B
No where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em C D B
Push back from my heart, wish we go back to the start
Em C D
But oh my God is this real no more time
[Próxima Parte]
B
it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
( Em B )
Verse:
Em B
I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
C B
Forced to watch the ashes floating softly drifting to the ground
Em B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
C B
And the echo of my mother's words baby don't you play with fire
Prechorus:
Em D
I was always playing that part
Em D
first love always at that spot
Em D B
There was no way changing my mind
Chorus:
Hold B Em C
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
B
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
Solo 2x: ( Em C D B )
Bridge:
C D B C
After all the dust has settled we can settle down
C D B C
Just the two of us forever no one else around
B C
No one else around
B
around
Chorus:
Hold B Em C
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
B
it's too late, it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
