LYRICS:

VERSE:

Am                          F#m
You know that it would be untrue
Am                         F#m
You know that I would be a liar
Am                   F#m
If I have to said to you
Am                        F#m
Girl we couldn't get much higher

CHORUS:

G            A        D
Come on baby light my fire
G            A        D    E
Come on baby light my fire
G                F#m            E7
Let's go set the night on.......Fire
2nd Verse :
Am                      F#m
The time to hesitate is through
Am                      F#m
No time to wallow in the mire
Am                   F#m
Try now we can only lose
Am                           F#m
And our love become a funeral pyre
