Naked Flame

Tom: Am

Am     G            F
Aim my heart from a gun
         G            Am
Now it's caked to the walls
        G        F
It's performance art
         G           Am
And it's framed by a house
         G             F
Yeah, we danced in the blood
      G          Am
And I drank you all up
        G       F
And I'm always dizzy
        G           Am
Cos the earth stood still
        G         F
Time to watch the bloom
     G          Am
Only one of its kind
   G         F                             G
Grows to fill the room- and the goes on forever

[Chorus]
C     F             C/G  G7   C
Sudden, staring at a na___ked flame
F             C/G   G7
Staring at her na___ked
F                     C
I'm new to dancing I catch my breath
   Am                    G                      F
I catch my breath in the middle of a dance with you
                          C
All this fire in the room started with a candle
    Am                 G                      F
The candle blew over, catches fire to me and you

[Post-chorus]
  Am  G  F     G
Na__ked - Naked
  Am  G  F     G
Na__ked - Naked

[Verse]
Am      G          F
Now the gift gives back
       G        Am
Like a thousand fold
         G     F
You were right after all
         G     Am
Guess it comes around
             G        F
You know she got your eyes
          G          Am
Like I've never seen blue
            G      F
I watch you dance around the room
      G          Am
Never laughed so hard

[Chorus]
C     F             C/G  G7   C
Sudden, staring at a na___ked flame
F             C/G   G7
Staring at her na___ked
F                     C
I'm new to dancing I catch my breath
   Am                    G                      F
I catch my breath in the middle of a dance with you
                          C
All this fire in the room started with a candle
    Am                 G                      F
The candle blew over, catches fire to me and you
      G
Naked, naked

[Outro]
Am  G  F  G
repeat to fade
