	E
We play these	parlour games

We play at make believe

	A	E/G#	F#m
When we get to the part where	I say	that I'm	going to leave

	A	E/G#	F#m	B	E
Every	body	loves a	happy ending but	we don't even	try

	A	E/G#	F#m
	We go	straight	past pretending

	B
	To the part where everybody loves to cry

(chorus)

	E
	Indoor fireworks

Can still burn your fingers

	B
	Indoor fireworks

	E
	We swore we were safe as houses

They're not so spectacular

	A	E/G#	F#m
They don't	burn up	in the s	ky

But they can dazzle or delight

	B
	Or bring a tear

	E
When the smoke gets in your	eyes

You were the spice of life

The gin in my vermouth

And though the sparks would fly

I thought our love was fireproof

Sometimes we'd fight in public darling

With very little cause

But different kinds of sparks would fly

When we got on our own behind closed doors

(chorus)

It's time to tell the truth

These things have to be faced

My fuse is burning out

And all that powder's gone to waste

Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through

I'll build a bonfire of my dreams

And burn a broken effigy of me and you

(chorus)
