She Prefers Fire

C Am G Dm She stood on the steps behind a man C Am G Dm He lit a cigarette and leaned on the rail Bm G F E The smell of burning made her head clear Thinking all the thoughts she hadn't thought for years Am C F Dm Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost Old friends go to war Love comes love goes Am C F G Everything that we have echoes what we desire She prefers fire C Am G Dm Tomorrow no plan will carry her away C Am G Dm This evening the man well he wonders what to say Bm G F E The sparks are lighting up the night sky Possessions, letters now just fuel for history Am C F Dm Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost Old friends go to war Love comes love goes Am C F G Everything that we have echoes what we desire She prefers fire Em D C And from the bridge she's seen Water pale and green She still prefers fire Bm G F E Am G Dm Sometimes I dream that everything I own Could burn up and Leave me no sadness no home Bm G F E A flame collapsing from the inside Antiseptic, honest blue and purest white Am C F Dm Everything that we have reminds us what we have lost Old friends go to war Love comes love goes Am C F G Everything that we have echoes what we desire She prefers fire
