E                     G#m     F#            E  G#m F#
Down to my last match fire I touch just to feel
E                   G#m       F#        E   G#m F#
Why is it easier to burn than it is to heal?

E
Out in the cold you've been
G#m          F#
I begged you to come back in
E                        G#m  F#
But I can't do this again

Chorus:
   E
I can't keep you from harm
        G#m             F#
But I'm set on fire to keep you warm
   E
I can't go on and on
G#m               F#
Setting fires to keep you warm
   E
I can't keep you from harm
        G#m             F#
But I'm set on fire to keep you warm
   E
I can't go on and on
G#m               F#
Setting fires to keep you warm

   E   G#m F#
I can't
   E
I can't go on and on
G#m               F#
Setting fires to keep you warm

I've been looking for answers
I don't want to hear
Chest to chest with you,
I'm staring into a mirror

Out in the cold you have been
I've begged you to come back in
But I can't do this again

Chorus

I can't
I can't go on and on
Setting fires to keep you warm


E
What would I do?
G#m                    F#
What I wouldn't do to save you
E
What would I do?
G#m                    F#
What I wouldn't do to save you

Chorus

I can't
I can't
I can't go on and on
Setting fires to keep you warm
I can't
I can't
I can't go on and on
Setting fires to keep you warm
