Intro: Em   D   C   Am 
 
verse 1 
 
Em         D                 C     Am 
You're so bad for me and I know it 
Em         D      C       Am 
But here I am in your arms 
Em            D            C     Am 
Yeah, we're crying like a secret 
Em                 D            C 
But it's just the calm before the storm 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
                 Em 
Cause baby your lips like fire 
D 
And my blood like gasoline 
C                     Am 
When light strike in, burning up everything 
Em                 D 
Smoke it's rising, it's getting hard to breathe 
C                   Am 
Your lips like fire  
 
           Em  D 
Ignite my gasoline 
               C   Am 
My blood like gasoline 
 
verse 2 
 
Em          D              C     Am 
Your voice follows like an echo 
Em             D             C      Am 
Won't someone wake me from this dream 
Em           D                C     Am 
The bluest sky is turned to black out 
Em       D                    C     
And the wind is shouting out my screams 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
                 Em 
Cause baby your lips like fire 
D 
And my blood like gasoline 
C                     Am 
When light strike in, burning up everything 
Em                 D 
Smoke it's rising, it's getting hard to breathe 
C                   Am 
Your lips like fire  
 
           Em  D 
Ignite my gasoline 
               C   Am 
My blood like gasoline 
           Em  D 
Ignite my gasoline 
               C   Am 
My blood like gasoline 
 
Bridge 
 
 C 
Late at night, telling me "if I was a rose 
 D 
You'll be the thorns and you won't get better" 
 Em 
But I say "baby, you're more like a stab" 
  G 
Stand in the rain cause I like the weather 
C                                                D 
Even though when we're done know I've left these ashes 
 
Pre-Chorus - Variation 
 
            Em 
Baby those lips like fire 
 D 
My blood like gasoline 
  C 
Sparked the fire 
  Am 
That burned down everything 
 
Pre-Chorus - Variation 2 
 
 Em 
Lips like fire 
D 
And my blood like gasoline 
  C 
When we're striking 
 Am 
Burning up everything 
  Em 
Smoke is rising 
D 
It's getting hard to breathe 
 C                  Am 
Your lips like fire 
 
           Em  D 
Ignite my gasoline 
               C   Am 
My blood like gasoline 
           Em  D 
Ignite my gasoline 
 
Ending 
                 C 
Cause baby your lips like fire 
 Am 
Left burns all over me
