C                                               Em
Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
C                                           Em
Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die
F                                                   Am
And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time
                                    C
I've been putting out fires all my life
                                                     G
Everybody wants a flame, but they don't want to get burnt
And today is our turn

Chorus:
C                       Am                       F
Days like these lead to, nights like this lead to love like ours
               Am                  G
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
C                      Am
People like us, we don't need that much
         F                            Am                   G
Just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

This world is getting colder, strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder, no one looks you in the eye, eye, eye
But I’ve been looking at you for a long, long time
Just trying to break through, trying to make you mine
Everybody wants a flame, they don’t want to get burnt
Well, today is our turn

Chorus

                  F
Hmm, our bonfire hearts
             Am
Our bonfire hearts
                 C
Uh, our bonfire hearts
                G
You light the spark
 C                      Am
People like us, we don't need that much
         F                            Am                   G
Just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts

Chorus - x2

C                       Am
People like us, we don't need that much
         F
Just someone that starts, starts the
spark in our bonfire hearts
