[Verse 1]
Em
Oh my precious ember burning,
B
my sweet glowing light
         C                      B
From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were
mine
Em                                B
  Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
        C
And the echo of my mother's words,
B
"baby don't you play with fire."

[Pre-Chorus]
Em      D                       Em           D
  I was always playing the part:  first love only set by
Em
a spark
          D                  B
There was no way changing my mind

[Chorus]
                   Em
Now I'm under your spell,
                C
trapped in a lie
                    D                      B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
                Em               C
No turning back,  no where to run
            D
No where to hide,
     B                      Em                        C
it's too late to say goodbye  Push back from my heart,
                D                  B
wish we could go back to the start,
             Em             C            D
But oh my God  is this real? No more time
     B
It's too late,
                            Em
It's too late to say goodbye

[Verse 2]
Em                              B
I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
C
Forced to watch the ashes floating,
B
softly drifting to the ground
Em                              B
  Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design
        C
And the echo of my mother's words,
B
"baby don't you play with fire."

[Pre-Chorus]
Em      D                       Em           D
  I was always playing the part:  first love only set by
Em
a spark
          D                  B
There was no way changing my mind

[Chorus]
                   Em
Now I'm under your spell,

                    D                      B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
                Em               C
No turning back,  no where to run
            D
No where to hide,
     B                      Em                        C
it's too late to say goodbye  Push back from my heart,
                D                  B
wish we could go back to the start,
             Em             C            D
But oh my God  is this real? No more time
     B
It's too late,
                                          Em C
It's too late It's too late to say goodbye

[Interlude]
C             D
After all the dust has settled,
B                 C
we can settle down
C               D
Just the two of us forever,
B                 C
no one else around
C                 D B    C
No one else around around

[Chorus]
                   Em
Now I'm under your spell,
                C
trapped in a lie
                    D                      B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
                Em               C
No turning back,  no where to run
            D
No where to hide,
     B                      Em                        C
it's too late to say goodbye  Push back from my heart,
                D                  B
wish we could go back to the start,
             Em             C            D
But oh my God  is this real? No more time
     B
It's too late,
                                          Em
It's too late It's too late to say goodbye
