Forest Fire Lloyd Cole and the Commotions from the album Rattlesnakes
C Em
She crossed herself as she put on her things
C Em
She has promised once before not to live this way
F C
If she dont calm down she will burn herself out
Dm F C
Like a forest fire, well doesnt that make you smile
C Em
If you dont slow down, I swear that Ill come round
C Em
And mess up your place, lets go for a spin
F
They say we shouldnt even know each other
C
And that well be undone
Dm F C
Dont it make you smile like a forest fire
I believe in love, Ill believe in anything
Thats gonna get me what I want and get me off my knees
Then well burn your house down, dont it feel so good
Theres a forest fire every time we get together
C Em
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
C Em
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
F
Hey pick you up, put you down
Rip you up and spin you round
C
Just like we said we would
Dm
cause were a forest fire
F C
Believe you me, well tear this place down
If we get caught in this wind then we could burn the ocean
If we get caught in this scene were gonna be undone
Its just a simple metaphor, its for a burning love
Dont it make you smile like a forest fire
Brilliant song by Lloyd Cole, no tabs in print for the band so hopefully you will enjoy this !
