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