[Verse]
GI take it Dback, I was never alone
GMy censored Dthoughts, mild and monotone
GI took a Dtrain to Berlin today
GWhen I called last nDight you felt so far away
CTonight I'll Dlaugh, I say whatever I want
CStay in the bDar til the sun comes up
CAnd I see mysDelf through my sister's eyes
CI'm a live wDire, electrified
[Chorus]
     GSparks Dfly, sparks GflyD  
[Verse]
GDeath grip on Dsome feigned humility
GEffort exeDcuted beautifully
GMy pride clenched Dtight in my shaky hand
GTil I let go and Dburied my head in the sand
COr I'll go back Dsouth, I'll leave it all behind
CSee myself Dclearly for the first time
CSince I met you on Da foggy night
CA disastDer, dignified
[Chorus]
     GSparks Dfly, sparks GflyD  
[Verse]
GWe sat in the Dhot summer twilight
GRadio Dloud and the brim bite
GThe Coosa wDater is choppy and wild
GI jumped Dabruptly, unreconciled
CFloat on my bacDk, watch the purple sky
CIn the last Dmoments of sunlight
CI know you dDon't recognize me
CBut I'm a live Dwire, finally
[Chorus]
     GSparks Dfly, sparks Gfly
     Sparks Dfly, sparks Gfly
     Sparks Dfly, sparks Gfly
     Sparks Dfly, sparks Gfly

Intro:

G D

[Verse]

G D

I take it back, I was never alone

G D

My censored thoughts, mild and monotone

G D

I took a train to Berlin today

G D

When I called last night you felt so far away

C D

Tonight I'll laugh, I say whatever I want

C D

Stay in the bar til the sun comes up

C D

And I see myself through my sister's eyes

C D

I'm a live wire, electrified

[Chorus]

G D G D

Sparks fly, sparks fly

[Verse]

G D

Death grip on some feigned humility

G D

Effort executed beautifully

G D

My pride clenched tight in my shaky hand

G D

Til I let go and buried my head in the sand

C D

Or I'll go back south, I'll leave it all behind

C D

See myself clearly for the first time

C D

Since I met you on a foggy night

C D

A disaster, dignified

[Chorus]

G D G D

Sparks fly, sparks fly

[Verse]

G D

We sat in the hot summer twilight

G D

Radio loud and the brim bite

G D

The Coosa water is choppy and wild

G D

I jumped abruptly, unreconciled

C D

Float on my back, watch the purple sky

C D

In the last moments of sunlight

C D

I know you don't recognize me

C D

But I'm a live wire, finally

[Chorus]

Sparks fly, sparks fly
