Cm     Cm             Gm
     There’s a fire starting in my heart,
 A#
Reaching a fever pitch,
           Gm                 A#
And it’s bringing me out the dark.
Cm             Gm
Finally I can see you crystal clear,
 A#
Go ahead and sell me out
     Gm                 A#
And I’ll lay your ship bare.

Cm                      Gm
See how I’ll leave with every piece of you,
 A#
Don’t underestimate
     Gm                 A#
The things that I will do.
Cm               Gm
There’s a fire starting in my heart,

Reaching a fever pitch

And it’s bringing me out the dark.

G#              A#                  Gm
   The scars of your love remind me of us,
                 G#

                        G#
   That we almost had it all.

   The scars of your love,

   I can’t help feeling.

     Rolling in the deep,
          A#             Cm           A#
     You had my heart inside of your hand
               G#               A#
     And you played it to the beat.

Cm               Gm
Baby, I have no story to be told,
          A#
But I’ve heard one of you
         Gm                   A#
And I'm gonna make your head burn.
Cm                  Gm
Think of me in the depths of your despair,
 A#
Making a home down there
    Gm                  A#
As mine sure won't be shared.

G#              A#                  Gm

                         G#
   That we almost had it all.
                 A#
   The scars of your love,
                  Gm
   They leave me breathless,
                 G
   I can’t help feeling.

Throw your soul through every open door,
 A#
Count your blessings
    Gm                 A#
To find what you look for.

Turn my sorrow into treasured gold,
     A#
You pay me back in kind
    Gm                  A#
And reap just what you sow.
