Em                              B
Oh, my precious ember burning, my sweet
glowing light
          C                     B
From the moment I first saw you I was
yours and you were mine
Em                                B
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
        C                           B
And the echo of my mother's words, baby
don't you play with fire

Em    D
I was always playing the part
Em         D
First love only set by a spark
Em         D                  B
There was no way changing my mind

Chorus:
 B                  Em                  C
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
                 D                      B
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
           Em                C
No turning back, nowhere to run
            D          B
Nowhere to hide, it's too late to say goodbye
Em                 C                    D
Push back from my heart, wish we could go
              B
back to the start
          Em            C             D
But oh my God, is this real, no more time
      B
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye

I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
Forced to watch the ashes floating,
softly drifting to the ground
Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words,
"Baby, don't you play with fire"

I was always playing the part
First love only set by a spark
There was no way changing my mind

Chorus:
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart
Wish we could go back to the start
But oh my god, is this real?
No more time
It's too late, it's too late,
it's too late to say goodbye

C              D                B             C
After all the dust has settled we can settle down
C               D            B            C
Just the two of us forever, no one else around
B             C
No one else around
  B
around

Chorus:
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart
Wish we could go back to the start
But oh my god
No escape
No more time
It's too late, it's too late,
it's too late to say goodbye
