Bb F C F

[Verse 1]
  F                                        Bb
We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us
     F                                          C7
We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me
        F                                                 Bb
So we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone
                        F     C      F
Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning

[Chorus]
         Bb                                 F
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die down soon
 Bb                                 F           C7
I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you
F                                                        Bb
So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on
                       F     C      F
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning

[Verse 2]
    F                                       Bb
Each time we meet we both agree it's for the last time
   F                              C7
But out of your arms I'm out of my mind
        F                                                 Bb
So we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
                       F     C      F
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning

[Chorus]
         Bb                                 F
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die down soon
 Bb                                 F           C7
I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you
F                                                        Bb
So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on
                       F     C      F           Bb F C F
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning

[Outro]
         F                                                 Bb
Yes we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning
   Bb                  F
And we'll sweep out the ashes
Bb                 F
We'll sweep out the ashes
Bb                 F     C            F
We'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
