forms)
We play these Eparlour games
We play at make believe
When we get to the part where AI say E/G#that I'm F#mgoing to leave
EveryAbody E/G#loves a F#mhappy ending but Bwe don't even Etry
AWe go E/G#straight F#mpast pretending
BTo the part where everybody loves to cry
(chorus)
EIndoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
BIndoor fireworks
EWe swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
They don't Aburn up E/G#in the sF#mky
But they can dazzle or delight
BOr bring a tear
When the smoke gets in your Eeyes
You were the spice of life
The gin in my vermouth
And though the sparks would fly
I thought our love was fireproof
Sometimes we'd fight in public darling
With very little cause
But different kinds of sparks would fly
When we got on our own behind closed doors
(chorus)
It's time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out
And all that powder's gone to waste
Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through
I'll build a bonfire of my dreams
And burn a broken effigy of me and you
(chorus)

EWe play these parlour games

When we get to the part where E7I say that I'm goAing to leave
EverAybody loves a happy ending but Bwe don't even tEry
AWe go straight past pretending
BTo the part where everybody lC#moves to cry
InEdoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
InBdoor fireworks
EWe swore we were as safe as houses
They're not so spectecular
They don'E7t burn up in the sAky
By they can dazzle and delBight
F#mOr bring a tBear
When the smBoke gets in your eEyes
You were the spEice of life
The gin in my vermouth
And though the sparks would fly
I thE7ought our love was fireAproof
SomeAtimes we'd fight in public darling
WithB very little caEuse
But diffAerent kinds of sparks would fly
When we gBot on our own bC#mehind closed doors
