Intro: Dm | C
Dm C
I was born a baby boy a long time ago
Bb Dm C
Back when the hillsides were green and the water would flow
Dm C
But nights they fall and settle like snow
Bb Dm C
I watched as the hillsides turned white with nowhere to go
Bb Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb Dm C Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Dm C
Now my heart?s a frozen lake where streams used to flow
Bb Dm C
Down to the forest of my mind where memory would grow
Dm C
Now I walk amongst the trees where the last sun glows
Bb Dm C
The leaves are all golden and brown with nowhere to go
Bb Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb Dm C Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb
My skin like these boulders
C
Is cracking and older
F Dm
With each passing year that goes
Bb
My cliff face is crumbling
C
Silently tumbling
F Am Dm
Down to the water below
Bb
And if I light a match
C
I?ll be able to catch
Am Bb
The last sun before it goes
Bb Dm
And oh well I think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb Dm
Oh think I'm gonna start a fire
Bb Dm C
And oh think I'm gonna start a fire now
