   If ev'-ry-bo-dy wants a flame   They don’t want to get burnt

   And to-day is our turn

   No one of-fers you a shoul-der    No one looks you in the eye...
  F                                                  Am

                                                        C
   Just try-ing to break through    Try-ing to make you mine 
                                                        G
