Starting Fires

E A E A

[Verse 1]
E                                A
I keep lighting fires and I keep punching walls
E                                  A
I keep holding my breath and I keep poking holes

E      A
Ohh (Ohh)
E      A
Ohh (Ohh)

[Verse 2]
E                                  A
I keep smashing glasses and I keep falling down
E                              A
I lay in the pieces and I keep rolling around

E      A
Ohh (Ohh)
E      A
Ohh (Ohh)

[Verse 3]
E                                       A
I'll sleep on my sofa and you can sleep in my bed
E                                    A
I’ll never feel whole but you're as close as I’ll get

E      A
Ohh (Ohh)
E      A
Ohh (Ohh)

E                       A
You can be the husband, I can be your wife
E                     A
We can pretend we can cope with real life
E                   A
White picket fences and stable jobs
E                         A
Three little faces and a couple of dogs, yeah
E                       A
You can be the husband, I can be your wife
E                         A
We can pretend we’ll get over our strife
E                          A
Having conversations we’ve never had before
E                              A
You’ll be drinking whisky as I walk out the door

[Verse 4]
E                                  A
I walk to the seafront and jump in fully clothed (Ohh)
E                                        A
And I keep wandering aimless, oh shit, I don’t even know (Ohh)
E      A
Woah (Ohh)
E      A
Woah (Ohh)

I keep starting fires and I keep poking holes
E                                     A
I keep holding my breath 'cause I am nothing at all
