Keep this fingerpicking pattern for the whole song, but change it to these chords (thanks to Tsg9) :
VERSE 1 :
C Em
Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky.
C Em
Your love is like a soldier, loyal till you die.
F Am
And I've been looking at the stars for a long, long time.
C
I've been putting out fires all my life.
G
Everybody wants a flame, but they don't want to get burnt.
C
And today is our turn.
CHORUS :
C Am F
Days like these lead to, nights like this lead to love like ours,
Am G
You light the spark in my bonfire heart.
C Am
People like us, we don't need that much.
F Am G
Just someone that starts, starts the spark in our bonfire hearts.
