C#m
Love is a flame that can't be tamed
                               F#m
And though we are its willing prey, my darling
E       B
We are not the ones to blame

"Trust" is a word all lovers know
The glorious art of staining souls, my darling
We are not the ones to blame

The more we have, the more we want
And the more it hurts our heart, my baby
It always ends up in tears...

Chorus:
               A    B
So keep on pretending
     C#m                 B
Our heaven is worth the waiting
            A    B         C#m
Keep on pretending it's alright
               A     B
So keep on pretending
        C#m                 B
It will be the end of our craving
            A     B
Keep on pretending
      C#m
It's alright

When doubts arise, the game begins
The one we will never win, my baby
It always ends up in tears

Chorus

Oh, come on
Love is a flame that can't be tamed
And though you're its willing prey, my darling
We are not the ones to blame
