 Verse 1:
 
 Bsus4 F#(barred) Asus
 The air is visible around you, rising up and off your lips in slow currents
                      E                     Bsus4       
 And i watch as your face is framed in its slow currents
 F#(barred)
 Drifting curls a trailing path
         Asus            E                  
 A long drag becomes a dress of blue and ash
 
 1st CHORUS:
 {lead guitar:...Major Riff 1 starts again...}

 Bsus4             E                             G#m 
 If it is born in flames then we should let it burn
          E                
 Burn as brightly as we can
 Bsus4             E                     G#m   
 And if its gotta end then let it end in flames
         E               Bsus4 
 Let it burn all the way down.
 
 {lead guitar:...and then the quick 2nd riff...}

 The air is visible around us, turning in it's simple steps on slow currents
                      E                     Bsus4    F#     
 And i watch as it pirouettes and spins in sloooooow mo-tion
         Asus            E       
 A long drag becomes a slow dance
 G#m         E        
 in a halo...of ember.

 Bsus4

 Asus                                 
 So hot with love, we burned our hands
 Bsus4                                 Asus                      
 If this is ever meant to end, then i hope it ends where it began
