to keep the fire burnin'

all night long.

G
You've been changing so much
I'm not sure you're in
F                  C
touch with what's real.
G
You just come and you go
never letting me
  F           C
know how you feel.
                        Am
And I'm livin' here in doubt
                          F

                            G
I know that we can work it out.

We can keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm

Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long

We've been through this enough
It gets rough but there's nowhere to run
This is where we belong
We are strong, we can never give up
If we wanted to we could
But we've always understood
To keep lookin' for the good, oh

Who will keep the fire burnin'?
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin'
Let it turn you on
Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin'

Chorus:
Keep the fire burnin'
Let it keep us warm
The world will keep on turnin'
Let it turn you on
Let us not stop learnin'
We can help one another be strong
Let us never lose our yearnin'
To keep the fire burnin' all night long
Keep the fire burnin'
Keep the fire burnin'
Keep the fire burnin'
Keep the fire burnin'
Keep the fire burnin'
Keep the fire burnin'
Keep the fire burnin'
