Forest Fire by Lloyd Cole and The Commotions
Forest Fire
Tuning: E A D G B E
C Em
She crossed herself as she put on her things
C Em
She has promised once before not to live this way
F C
If she don’t calm down she will burn herself out
Dm F C
Like a forest fire, well doesn’t that make you smile
C Em
If you don’t slow down, I swear that I’ll come round
C Em
And mess up your place, let’s go for a spin
F
They say we shouldn’t even know each other
C
And that we’ll be undone
Dm F C
Don’t it make you smile like a forest fire
I believe in love, I’ll believe in anything
That’s gonna get me what I want and get me off my knees
Then we’ll burn your house down, don’t it feel so good
There’s a forest fire every time we get together
C Em
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
C Em
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
F
Hey pick you up, put you down
Rip you up and spin you round
C
Just like we said we would
Dm
’cause we’re a forest fire
F C
Believe you me, we’ll tear this place down
If we get caught in this wind then we could burn the ocean
If we get caught in this scene we’re gonna be undone
It’s just a simple metaphor, it’s for a burning love
Don’t it make you smile like a forest fire
