A Fire Only We Know

	  		
Intro 
A     D 

verse 1 
         A 
Only we know the quiet roads and the vacant malls, 
       Bm 
Or the cool of perfect darkness just outside the sprawl, 
        F#m              E                      A 
Only we heard the drums pumping in the stadium, 

Pre-Chorus 1 
     Bm 
And built our truths like fires, 
        F#m                         D 
in the promised land where we come from, 

                                         F#m 
And when you look now in my eyes, do you see the boy 
      Bm                             F#m 
that swore on every inch of you, our light would never die, 
       D                        A 
Is a bravery inside me, still clinging to my clothes, 
      Bm                             A 
Like smoke from a fire only we know. 


verse 2 
         A 
Only we know how good your daddy's records sound, 
   Bm 
Or just how far a fall it is from the window to the ground, 
         F#m            E                    A 
Only we smell the rain just before it comes, 

Pre-Chorus 2 
     Bm 
And think first of each other, 
F#m                         D 
every time we're burned by love, 
 
                             F#m 
When I look now in your eyes, I still see 
     Bm                           F#m 
the thing that made us lions, the thing that made us free, 
          D                         A 
And the bravery inside you, still clinging to your clothes, 
      Bm                             A 
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
 

Bridge 
     F#m       E           A                 F#m   E   A 
Like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke,      
     F#m       E           A                 F#m   E   A 
Like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke, like smo – o – oke,   
      Bm                             A 
Like smoke from a fire only we know.

Pre-Chorus 2 
     Bm 
And think first of each other, 
F#m                         D 
every time we're burned by love, 

                                         F#m 
And when you look now in my eyes, do you see the boy 
      Bm                             F#m 
that swore on every inch of you, our light would never die, 
       D                        A 
Is a bravery inside me, still clinging to my bones, 
      Bm                             A 
Like smoke from a fire only we know.
