[Intro]
C G x2
[Verse 1]
C
You went into the kitchen cupboard
Got yourself another hour
F
And you gave
Am
Half of it to me
C
We sat there looking at the faces
Of these strangers in the pages
F Am
'Til we knew 'em mathematically
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
They were in our minds
F
Until forever
Dm
But we didn't mind
G
We didn't know better
[Verse 2]
C
So we made our own computer out of macaroni pieces
F Am
And it did our thinking while we lived our lives
C
It counted up our feelings
And divided them up even
F Am
And it called that calculation perfect love
Dm F
Didn't even know that love was bigger
Dm
Didn't even know
G
That love was so, so
Hey Hey Hey
[Chorus]
F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C F
Burnin' us up
F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C
Burnin' us..
Dm
Up
A#
Ohhhhh
F
Ohh Ohh Ohh
[Verse 3]
C
So we made the hard decision
And we each made an incision
F
Past our muscles and our bones
Am
Saw our hearts were little stones
C
Pulled 'em out they weren't beating
And we weren't even bleeding
F Am
As we lay 'em on the granite counter top
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
We beat 'em up
F
Against each other
Dm
We beat 'em up
F
Against each other
Dm
We struck 'em hard
F
Against each other
Dm
We struck 'em so hard
G
So hard until they sparked
[Chorus]
F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C F
Burnin' us up
F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C F
Burnin' us up
F
Hey this fire it's burnin'
C
Burnin' us
Dm
Up
A# F G
