Verse

Am * F#m *
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire  
Come on baby, light my fire 
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Chorus

Come on baby, light my fire  
Come on baby, light my fire 
Try to set the night on fire 
(break)
Am Bm Am Bm (jam 'til Cue)
