Bonfire Heart Chords

   
I like this song, so here is my version. Its higher than the other one because it fits 
my voice better.
* means that the chord should be picked, listen to the song for the exact picking 
pattern, or do something like
-------x-----|
-----x---x---|
---x-------x-|
-------------|
-------------|
-R-----------|
R means pick the string which has the root note.

The bridge is actually a mix of strumming and picking, but you can also just plain pick 
or strum.

The last two chords are in brackets because in the song, there is no guitar here, but in 
case you want to play them, I have put them there.


Standard Tuning - CAPO 5


Intro: G*
Verse:
G*                                                Bm*
   Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky.
G*                                              Bm*
   Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die.
C*                                                     Em*
   And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time.
                                      G*
   I've been putting out fires all my life.
                                                       D*
   Everybody wants a flame, but they don't want to get burnt.
                          G*
   And today is our turn.


Chorus:
G*                         Em*                      C*
   Days like these lead to, nights like this lead to love like ours,
                 Em*                 D*
   You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
G                          Em
   People like us, we don't need that much.
            C                           Em                   D
   Just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts.

Verse:
G                                                  Bm
   This world is getting colder. Strangers passing by.
G                                                        Bm

C                                                Em

                                                    G
   Just trying to break through, trying to make you mine.
                                                   D
   Everybody wants a flame, they don't want to get burnt
