[Verse]
BAmlue eyes of Efire
sFweet desire is bitter toCrture,
You are nGo fathers daugChter,
No man hGas this much to Coffer,
SAmkin dark as sEin,
Soft and wFhen, We took cCover,
From the rGain, And the tChunder,
Under sGtained glass we did sClumber,
Till the sGun came out to bClind us,
Till we cAmould not sEee aFnything,
So we kAmnew at onEce we were mFeant to bCe,
And we hFeard the gCods all rFise and sCay,
The lFove we mCade is no lGie.
[Chorus]
And the 3G0 years of hopes and fears breathing dFown my nCeck,
Such a sGad sad thing i set you free,
'Cuz I cFan't get you bCack.
You are fGire, you are wCater.
When you dGance, it is tCorture.
Maybe sGome night by the gCrey light of the dAmull moon wEe can mFeet,
[Verse]
TAmangled,  eEntwined, we have Fclimbed, we have Cwrangled,
shiny sGequins sparked and spCangled,
Our hGearts iron-cuffed and mCangled,
WAme spent the nEight, By the sFide of the wCater,
Past the bGreakers and the mCarkers,
We swam oGut into the dCarkness,
Till wGe could not feel the bCottom.
Till we cAmould not fEeel aFnything.
And the sAmhoreline sElowly drifted oFut of rCeach,
As the mFoon shone dCown and the oFcean hCeaved,
And dFarkness gCave to the lGight.
[Chorus]
And with 3G0 years of hopes and fears breathing dFown my nCeck,
Such a sGad sad thing i set you free, 'Cuz I cFan't get you bCack.
You are fGire, you are wCater.
When you dGance, it is tCorture.
Maybe sGome day on the bCottom of the oAmcean we can mFeet.
Though we kAmnow if we dEo, we can nFever lCeave,
'Cuz the mAmoment tEhat we tFurn aCway
The gFods will sCay
The lFove we mCade was a lGie.

[Verse]

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,

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.
