(Chords in concert pitch, try playing capo 2nd fret with D, A, G, Em
forms)
E
We play these parlour games
We play at make believe
A E/G Fm
When we get to the part where I say that I`m going to leave
A E/G Fm B E
Everybody loves a happy ending but we don`t even try
A E/G Fm
We go straight past pretending
B
To the part where everybody loves to cry
(chorus)
E
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
B
Indoor fireworks
E
We swore we were safe as houses
They`re not so spectacular
A E/G Fm
They don`t burn up in the sky
But they can dazzle or delight
B
Or bring a tear
E
When the smoke gets in your eyes
You were the spice of life
The gin in my vermouth
And though the sparks would fly
I thought our love was fireproof
Sometimes we`d fight in public darling
With very little cause
But different kinds of sparks would fly
When we got on our own behind closed doors
(chorus)
It`s time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out
And all that powder`s gone to waste
Don`t think for a moment dear that we`ll ever be through
I`ll build a bonfire of my dreams
And burn a broken effigy of me and you
(chorus)
