[Verse 1]
G Bm
She crossed her - self, as she put on her things,
G Bm
She has promised once before...not to live this way,
Cadd9
If she don't calm down,
Gmaj7 Am7
She will burn herself out ...like a forest fire,
Cmaj7 G
Well, doesn't that make you smile?
[Verse 2]
G Bm
If you don't slow down, I swear that I'll come 'round,
G Bm
And mess up your place, let's go for a spin,
Cadd9
Say, we shouldn't even know each other,
Gmaj7
And that we'll be un - done,
Am7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7
Don't it make you smile, ...like a forest fire?
[Verse 3]
G Bm
I believe in love, I'll believe in anything...
G Bm
...That's gonna get me what I want, get me off my knees,
Cadd9 Gmaj7
Then we'll burn your house down, don't it feel so good?
Am7 Cmaj7 Gmaj7
It's a forest fire ...every time we get together-------!
[Bridge]
G Bm
Doo, doo - doo! Doo - doo, doo, doo - doo,
G Bm
Doo, doo - doo! Doo - doo, doo, doo - doo,
Cadd9
Hey, pick you up, put you down,
Cadd9
Rip you up, then spin you 'round,
Gmaj7 Am
Just like we said we would, 'cause we're a forest fire,
Am Bm C G
Be - lieve with me, we'll tear this place down!
[Verse 4]
G Bm
If we get caught in this wind, then we could burn the ocean,
G Bm
If we get caught in this wind, we're gonna be un - done,
Cadd9 Gmaj7
Ah, it's just a simple metaphor, and it's for a burning love,
Am Am Bm C Gmaj7
Don't it make you smile, ...like a forest fire?
