[Bridge] 
Can't get too close 
            C#m
to the sun (Fire)
                               E
Baby, you're the only one, oh, I
           Amaj7      
I'd never lie to you, 
          Amaj7
baby, oh (Fire)
              B      
You give me a reason 
                C#m
to run from the fire
                        B/D#
'Cause baby, you're the only one
    E
Oh, I swear I'd never lie

But I hope that I'm able

to be all that you need
                       F#m    
If you think that I'm someone 
                B7
to give up and leave
                E     Amaj7
That'll never be me, no
                       F#m    
If you think that I'm someone 
                B7
to give up and leave

That'll never be me
             Amaj7
(Hard as I try)
