C#m B
C#m                                B
I was born a baby boy a long time ago
A                                                      C#m      B
Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow
     C#m                                B
But nights they fall and settle like snow
   A                                                    C#m    B
I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go
A                          C#m
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
A                          C#m    B C#m
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
        C#m                                           B
Now my heart?s a frozen lake where streams used to flow
A                                                C#m     B
Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow
 C#m                                                B
Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows
     A                                             C#m   B
The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go
A                          C#m
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
A                          C#m    B C#m
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
   A
My skin like these boulders
     B
Is cracking and older
      E                      C#m
With each passing year that goes
    A
My cliff face is crumbling
 B
Silently tumbling
E              G#m    C#m
Down to the water below
    A
And if I light a match 
        B
I?ll be able to catch
      G#m               A
The last sun before it goes
       A                             C#m
And oh well I think I?m gonna start a fire
     A                     C#m
Oh think I?m gonna start a fire
    A                          C#m   B
And oh think I?m gonna start a fire now
C#m B G#m
