Heavens On Fire Chords & Tabs
This is my interpretation of the song, I know it's not 100% correct but it does sound like the original song. I think the original song is played in a different tuning.
Chords in accordance to Capo on the 1st fret. Notice that Em7 is different from Em7*.

"When I look at you, heaven's on fire
I wish I didn't know you better, but it's pointless
One look at you, and heaven's on fire
