Verse:
D#m G#
You keep a lot of secrets
F# Fm7b5
And I keep none
D#m G#
Wish I could go back
F# Fm7b5
And keep some
Chorus:
D#m G#
You're fireproof
F# Fm7b5
Nothing breaks your heart
D#m G#
You're fireproof
F# Fm7b5
It's just the way you are
You tell me I'm waiting
To find someone
Who isn't so hopeless
But there's no one
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
How'd you get so far
You're a needle in the hay
You're the water at the door
You're a million miles away
Doesn't matter anymore
Jennifer you are not the only reason
My head is boiling and my hands are freezing
Jennifer you are not the only one
To sit awake until the wild feelings leave you
You're fireproof
Nothing breaks your heart
You're fireproof
It's just the way you are
You're fireproof
It's what you always say
You're fireproof
I wish I was that way
