verse 1
F Bb
We know it's wrong to let this fire burn between us

We've got to stop this wild desire in you and in me

So we'll let the flame burn once again until the thrill is gone

Then we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
Bb F
We're two people caught up in the flame that has to die down soon

F C F
And we'll sweep out the ashes in the morning
