[Verse 1]
D
We play these parlour games
We play at make believe
D7 G
When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave
G Dadd4/F# Em7 A D
Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try
G Dadd4/F# Em7
We go straight past pretending
A Bm A
To the part where everybody loves to cry
[Chorus]
D D4 D
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
A
Indoor fireworks
D
We swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
D7 G
They don't burn up in the sky
G F# E B A
But they can dazzle or delight
A
Or bring a tear
D D4 D
When the smoke gets in your eyes
[Verse 2]
D
You were the spice of life
D
The gin in my vermouth
D
And though the sparks would fly
D7 G
I thought our love was fireproof
G Dadd4/F# Em7
Sometimes we'd fight in public darling
A D
With very little cause
G Dadd4/F# Em7
But different kinds of sparks would fly
A Bm A
When we got on our own behind closed doors
[Chorus]
D D4 D
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
A
Indoor fireworks
D
We swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
D7 G
They don't burn up in the sky
G F# E B A
But they can dazzle or delight
A
Or bring a tear
D D4 D
When the smoke gets in your eyes
[Verse 3]
D
It's time to tell the truth
D
These things have to be faced
D
My fuse is burning out
D7 G
And all that powder's gone to waste
G Dadd4/F# Em7 A D
Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through
G Dadd4/F# Em7
I'll build a bonfire of my dreams
A Bm A
And burn a broken effigy of me and you
[Chorus]
D D4 D
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
A
Indoor fireworks
D
We swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
D7 G
They don't burn up in the sky
G F# E B A
But they can dazzle or delight
A
Or bring a tear
D D4 D
When the smoke gets in your eyes
