We [B] play [E] these parlor games
We play it make believe
When we get to the park [G#] I say that [A] I'm gonna leave
Everybody loves a happy [B] ending
But we don't [E] even try
[A] We go [C#m] [A] straight past the tandem [B] to the part where everybody [C#m] loves to cry
[B] [E]
Indoor [Am] fireworks
[E]
Can still burn your fingers
[B] Indoor [E] fireworks
We swallow safe houses, they're not so spectacular
They don't burn up [A] in the sky
But [A] they can dazzle [B] on a [F#m] light
I'll bring [B] a tear when the smoke gets in [E] your eye
You were the spice of life
The gin in my mouth
And though the sparks would fly
Thought our love [A] was fireproof
Sometimes we'd fight in public, [E] darling, [B] with very little [E]
cause
[A] But different kinds of sparks would fly
[B] When we got on our own [F#m] behind [C#m] closed doors
[B] [E] Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your [A] fingers [B] Indoor fireworks
[E] We swallow safe houses, they're not so spectacular
They don't burn up [A] in the sky
But they can [B] dazzle on a [F#m] light
I'll bring a [B] tear when the smoke gets [E] in your eye
It's time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out
And all that's left [A] is gone to waste
Don't [G#] think for a [F#m] moment, [A] dear, [B] that we'll ever be [E] through
[A] I'll build upon fire of my dreams
[B] And burn a broken effigy [C#m] of me and you
[B] [E]
