Em C D Things we lost to the flame Em C Am D Things we'll never see again Em C D All that we've amassed Em C Am D Sits before us, shattered into ash Em D These are the things, the things we lost Bm C The things we lost in the fire fire fire Em D These are the things, the things we lost Bm C The things we lost in the fire fire fire Em D We sat and made a list Bm C Of all the things that we have Em D Down the backs of table tops Bm C Ticket stubs and your diaries Em D I read them all one day Bm C When loneliness came and you were away Em D Oh they told me nothing new, Bm C But I love to read the words you used Em D These are the things, the things we lost Bm C The things we lost in the fire fire fire Em D These are the things, the things we lost Bm C The things we lost in the fire fire fire Am F I was the match and you were the rock C G Maybe we started this fire Am F We sat apart and watched C G All we had burned on the pyre Am F (You said) we were born with nothing C G And we sure as hell have nothing now Am F (You said) we were born with nothing C G And we sure as hell have nothing now Em D These are the things, the things we lost Bm C The things we lost in the fire fire fire Em D These are the things, the things we lost Bm C The things we lost in the fire fire fire Em C D Flames they licked the walls Em C Am D Tenderly they turned to dust all that I adore
