[Verse 1]
| D    Dsus2 | D           Bm7
               A love born once must
 soon be born again
  D
A spark that burned, then died, 
leaving cinders
      Bm7
To be fanned by the wind and thrown 
to flame;
Gmaj7        G6        Asus2    
 Flames like tongues impassioned
               A5
 in a moment’s burst.
Gmaj7    G6                  
 Tell me friend - why do you 
Asus2                 A5
stand aloof from your own heart?

D
  The truth confronts you
Bm7
 The truth confronts you as the sea 
crushing without detail,
Gmaj7  G6   Asus2           A5
          Impassioned and detached,
Gmaj7             G6             
     Killing with love and power 
   Asus2    A5
in God's Name.


[Chorus]
D
People, stop hurting people
D
People, stop hurting people


[Middle 8]
Gmaj7
 Love conquers poses
Am7          [ Bbmaj7 ]
 Love smashes stances
Bbmaj7          Dm/G       | D/A | 
   Love crushes angles into black.
A | D/A | A |

   D/A          A                 
So you, without question, know 
  D/A                A
your first love is your last
    D/A       A              D/A 
And you, will never – you’ll 
    A                         [ D
never – never – You’ll never love 
 ]
again


[Verse 3]
D                                 
  I always wished to walk with her
      Bm7
 into restaurants, (It’s a clammy 
tale).
             D
To be seen beside her at the public 
bar footrail
         Bm7
I always wanted to be matched with 
her
                      Gmaj7        
Yet her beauty was so different to 
       G6
mine.
    Asus2            A5
My "beauty" needs an understanding
      Gmaj7   G6            Asus2 A5
And a knowledge of what I am.


[Verse 4]
D                              
Hers is enough. Earned through eons;
Bm7
 for that is what true beauty is –
D                                | 
 Time's gift to perfect humility
Bm7 | % |



[Bridge]
D
May I be matched with you again
Bm7
 I know the match is bad
        D
But God help me - May I be matched 
with you again
Bm7
 I know the match is bad
        D
But God help me - May I be matched 
with you again
Bm7
 I know the match is bad
    D
God help me - May I be matched with 
you again
Bm7
 Without your match there is no 
flame
