Intro: Bb F C F 

verse 1 
  F                                        Bb 
We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us 
     F                                          C7 
We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me 
        F                                                 Bb 
So we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone 
                        F     C      F 
Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning 


[Refrão]
 
         Bb                                 F 
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die down soon 
 Bb                                 F           C7 
I didn't mean to start this fire and neither did you 
F                                                        Bb 
So tonight when you hold me tight we'll let the fire burn on 
                       F     C      F 
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning

verse 2 
    F                                       Bb 
Each time we meet we both agree it's for the last time 
   F                              C7 
But out of your arms I'm out of my mind 
        F                                                 Bb 
So we'll taste the thrill of stolen love tonight until the dawning 
                       F     C      F 
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
