Afire Love

Intro: ( Em C Am D )(2x)
       ( G C Am D )

Em                          G
Things were all good yesterday
                                 D 
And then the devil took your memory
 C

                          G      C
And if you fell to your death today,
I hope that heaven is your resting 
 Em
place

Em                                
I heard the doctors put your chest
    D  G
 in pain
then that could've been the 
D C
medicine
And now you're lying in the bed 
  D
again
D
Either way I'll cry with the rest of
 them

Pre-Chorus:
C      G         Em
And my father told me so
G
It's not his fault he doesn't know 
your face
C         G            Em
And you're not the only one
            C       G            
Although my grandma used to say, he 
D
used to see

Chorus:
Em                   C
Darling hold me in arms the way you 
did last night
Am            D
And your life inside, a little while
 with you more
Em                     C
I could look into your eyes until 
the sun comes up
Continues after the ad
Remove ads
Am                     D
And we're wrapped in light, in life 
and love

Em                       C
Put your open lips on mine, slowly 
let them shut
Am                   D
for they're designed to be together
Em                      C
With your body next to mine our 
hearts will beat as one
Am             D
And we'll set alight, we're afire 
love

( G Am  C D )

Verse:
Em                          G
Things were all good yesterday
And then the devil took your breath 
  D  C
away
                           G C
And now we're left here in pain
Black suit black tie standing in the
   Em
 rain

Em                           D G
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with the strangers 
         D C
and a friend
Came to my mind I should paint it 
         D
with a pen
D
Six years old I remember when

Pre-Chorus:
C      G         Em
And my father told me so
G
It's not his fault he doesn't know 
your face
C         G            Em
And you're not the only one
            C       G            
Although my grandma used to say, he 
D
used to see

Chorus:
Em                   C
Darling hold me in arms the way you 
did last night
Am            D
And your life inside, a little while
 with you more
Em                     C
I could look into your eyes until 
the sun comes up
Am                     D
And we're wrapped in light, in life 
and love

Em                       C
Put your open lips on mine, slowly 
let them shut
Am                   D
for they're designed to be together
Em                      C
With your body next to mine our 
hearts will beat as one
Am             D
And we'll set alight, we're afire 
love

( Em C Am D )

Em                        C
My father, and all of my family
                 Am          
rise from their seats to sing 
        D
hallelujah
       Em                     C
And my brother and all of my family
                Am           
rise from their seats to sing 
        D
hallelujah   (2x)
