[E] Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh
Is that simple [C#m] fire?
[C#] [E]
[E] Well, we had sex, and
It started a fight.
He claimed to have written it afterwards, but I had
I was like, [G#m] while he was [E] getting a towel nice and warm and damp for me,
I was actually writing the lyrics, and then he cleaned me off.
And then, uh
The towel was so hot.
The collaboration is sexual.
[G#m] So I had my arm in a sling like this and I went to the doctor and I was like, I had surgery
a few days earlier.
I was like, alright, so what about, you know, [G] playing music and writing and stuff.
And he was like, I don't want you to touch a guitar for nine months.
And I kind of looked at him and he was like, I know, you're gonna.
And I was like, yeah, I'm gonna, because we had like [F#] a gig a few months down the road.
So I went home and I pulled off the little sling and my arm only reached this far.
Like that's all I could do.
And I hadn't written any songs.
[E]
[C#m]
That was the first [E] song on the record that I had written.
[G] And I wrote it a bunch of different ways.
I wrote the lyrics a bunch of different ways.
You know, it was like, I knew like Sex on Fire kind of had a ring to it, but I made
it about this couple that hated each [G#m] other.
And the only thing that kept them together was [D#m] sex.
And then I wrote another version that was like very graphic and filthy.
And then I wrote another version.
[Em] And by the end [G] of it, I just kind of written.
After I saw that they were interested, I was scared a little bit because I was like, [D#] can't
write a song about your sex being on fire.
I don't even get what it means.
[E] But your sex is on fire.
And I just kept going over and over.
And at first it was like this.
[A] [E]
[F] It ended up going the original way.
I didn't know what was going on with it.
And Matthew finally was like, I think this song is going to be a hit.
And so I was like, it's definitely not going on the record.
But he was right.
He does it [F#] a lot.
The label.
A song that I say or someone says is probably going to be popular.
He's like, I mean, I think it's just in his head.
He'll say, I don't like that song.
I literally think he doesn't like it anymore.
I don't think it's just because we say it's going to be popular.
I think you just think.
But so he always says, like, [E] you know, I saw it should go on the record.
And I get depressed for a couple of days and go like, [C#] well, there goes our hit song.
It's not going on [G] the record because obviously he makes all the [N] decisions.
So I make all the decisions.
But no, he came around to it.
I put out the outfits, but that's about it.
He came around to it.
And so, yes.
No, he was right.
It was a hit.
And that's what scared me a little bit because I was like, man, I've written.
We have written a lot of great songs.
And for the first one to be a hit about sex being on fire, like, what does that even mean?
You know, like, because I didn't get it.
It was like, man, I've written songs about life and death and religion and [C#] all these important things.
I think I've tackled it pretty well.
And then our first big hit was about your sex being on fire.
So I didn't get it.
But now, as [E] soon as I go, and the crowd goes, [G#] wah, wah, wah.
It's really popular in the clubs.
They play it a lot in clubs.
They like this song.
So God bless them.
I mean, that means they're like us.
Yeah.
[E] Tee, tee.
[C#m]
[E]
[C#m]
[E]
[C#] I just remember that we were playing it [F#] back through the speakers in the studio and had
an acoustic guitar.
And it was kind of empty.
So I [E] thought it would be nice if there was a faster part under the vocals.
[B] It just ended up sounding like, I don't know.
Yeah, it worked under there.
And then that's the part in the verses.
And then the part in the [Em] chorus is what we just played.
[G#m]
Is that simple [C#m] fire?
