Fmaj7 
Keep the fires burning, 
Fmaj7         Dsus2 
Keep the fires burning, 
Fmaj7                Fmaj7 Dsus2 
Keep them burning hot, 
Fmaj7             Fmaj7 Dsus2 
Work on your love yeah, 
           Fmaj7                 Fmaj7 Dsus2 
You got to give it all you've got. 



           Fmaj7                       Fmaj7 Dsus2 
We spend a lot of time searching for love, 
          Fmaj7                        Fmaj7 Dsus2 
And never know where it's coming from, 
       Fmaj7               Fmaj7 Dsus2 
And as soon as we get it   somehow, 
           Fmaj7                     Fmaj7 Dsus2 
We seem to think that our work is done, 
        Fmaj7                  Fmaj7    Dsus2 
But the same things it took to get that love, 
        Fmaj7                            Fmaj7 Dsus2 
Are the things that you'll have to do to keep it, 
          Fmaj7            Fmaj7 Dsus2 
You gotta stay on your J.O.B, 
          Fmaj7 
You gotta give a little, take a lot, 
Fmaj7           Dsus2 
Give it all you got, oh. 



Fmaj7 
Keep the fires burning, 
Fmaj7          Dsus2 
Keep the fires burning, 
Fmaj7                Fmaj7 Dsus2 
Keep them burning hot, 
          Fmaj7                    Fmaj7 Dsus2 
You gotta work on your love, yeah, (Yeah!), 
          Fmaj7                 Fmaj7 Dsus2 
You gotta give it all you've got. 



         Fmaj7                        Fmaj7 Dsus2 
We say a lot of things that we really mean, 
        Fmaj7              Fmaj7 Dsus2 
To each other when love is new, 
        Fmaj7                Fmaj7        Dsus2 
Lots of promises and all the things we've said, 
        Fmaj7                 Fmaj7 Dsus2 
And the things we intended to do, 
       Fmaj7                    Fmaj7    Dsus2 
But as  time goes by things get cold and dry, 
           Fmaj7              Fmaj7 Dsus2 
There's no more  water in the well, 
          Fmaj7             Fmaj7          Dsus2 
And there ain't no way that two can come together, 
      Fmaj7              Fmaj7  Dsus2 
If we stay locked in our cell, oh. 



Fmaj7 
Keep the fires burning, 
Fmaj7          Dsus2 
Keep the fires burning, 
Fmaj7                Fmaj7 Dsus2 
Keep them burning hot, 
          Fmaj7                    Fmaj7 Dsus2 
You gotta work on your love, yeah, (Yeah!), 
          Fmaj7                 Fmaj7 Dsus2 
You gotta give it all you've got. 



C           Fsus4             F 
(Work on it) Oh, you've gotta work on it, 
             Ab           C   Fsus4 
(Work on it) Work on it, yeah,  yeah, 
 F           Bb  Bb            Fmaj7   Fmaj7 Dsus2
