#Key of A, but actually in B, so capo up 2 frets]
#The chords are just guides; mix in a lot of (9) chords with these. For
#instance: in the intro, play the A for 5/8 of the measure and A(9) for
#the last 3/8; same with the G. The D is actually D-D(9)-D-D(9). Dsus
#is used at the end of the verses, and Asus at the end of choruses.]
#A=002220; A(9)=002200; Asus=002230; D=x00232; D(9)=x00230; Dsus=x00233;
#G=320003; G(9)=300003 or 320203.]

{c:intro}
[A] [G] [D] [D] [A] [G] [D] [D]
[A][A(9)]Well I have sp[G][G(9)]ent nights with m[D][D9][D][D9]atches and kn[D]ives
Leaning [A]over ledges only[G] two fligh[D]ts up[D]
Cutting my he[A]art, burning m[G]y soul,[D] with nothing left to h[D]old
Nothing [A]left, but bloo[G]d and [D]fire[D]
You have sp[A]ent nights thinking of m[G]e, missing my a[D]rms but you needed to l[D]eave
Leaving m[A]y cuts, leaving m[G]y burns, hoping I[D]'d learn[Dsus]

[G]But blood and f[D]ire are too much for these[A] restless arms to h[A]old
And my n[G]ights of des[D]ire, they're calling me h[A]ere, back to your f[A]old
And I'm [G]calling you, [D]calling you, from [A]ten thousand miles aw[A]ay
Won't you wet my f[G]ire with your love[D], b[A]abe[Asus]

I am looking for someone who can take as much as I give
And'll give back as much as I need, y'know and they still have the will to live
'Cause I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love
But I feel forsaken, you know like the things I, I gave away

And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe

I am intense, I'm in need, I'm in pain, I'm in love
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe
Won't you wet my fire with your love, baby, hold me

Wet my fire with your love
