Am E
Blue eyes of fire
F C
sweet desire is bitter torture,
G C
You are no fathers daughter,
G C
No man has this much to offer,
Am E
Skin dark as sin,
F C
Soft and when, We took cover,
G C
From the rain, And the thunder,
G C
Under stained glass we did slumber,
G C
Till the sun came out to blind us,
Am E F
Till we could not see anything,
Am E F C
So we knew at once we were meant to be,
F C F C
And we heard the gods all rise and say,
F C G
The love we made is no lie.
[Chorus]
G F C
And the 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
G
Such a sad sad thing i set you free,
F C
'Cuz I can't get you back.
G C
You are fire, you are water.
G C
When you dance, it is torture.
G C Am E F
Maybe some night by the grey light of the dull moon we can meet,
[Verse]
Am E F C
Tangled, entwined, we have climbed, we have wrangled,
G C
shiny sequins sparked and spangled,
G C
Our hearts iron-cuffed and mangled,
Am E F C
We spent the night, By the side of the water,
G C
Past the breakers and the markers,
G C
We swam out into the darkness,
G C
Till we could not feel the bottom.
Am E F
Till we could not feel anything.
Am E F C
And the shoreline slowly drifted out of reach,
F C F C
As the moon shone down and the ocean heaved,
F C G
And darkness gave to the light.
[Chorus]
G F C
And with 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down my neck,
G F C
Such a sad sad thing i set you free, 'Cuz I can't get you back.
G C
You are fire, you are water.
G C
When you dance, it is torture.
G C Am F
Maybe some day on the bottom of the ocean we can meet.
Am E F C
Though we know if we do, we can never leave,
Am E F C
'Cuz the moment that we turn away
F C
The gods will say
F C G
The love we made was a lie.
