The Unforgettable Fire

-4   
Ice
-4   5 -5 -4 -4  4   -2'' 
Your only rivers run cold
-5    5-5  4 -4  
These city lights
 -5    5   -5 -4 -4   4  -2'' 
They shine as silver and gold
 -5  5   -5   -4 
Dug from the night
 -5   5   -5  -4   4   4 
Your eyes as black as coal

 -6 -6  6   
Walk on by
-6   -6   6  
Walk on through
 6    -5  -4   4  -3'  
Walk 'til you run
-3'   4   -4   -4 
And don't look back
 4   4  -3'-3' -3''
For here I am

 5 -5 -4             
Carnival
 -2  -5    5   -5   -2' -4 4   4 
The wheels fly and the colors spin
  -5     5 -5 -4 
Through alcohol
-5   5   -5    -4  -4   4    4 
Red wine that punctures the skin
 5  -5  -4
Face to face
-4-5  5  -5  -4 -4  4   4 
In a dry and waterless place

 -6 -6  6 
Walk on by
 -6  -6   6 
Walk on through
4  6  -6 -(67)-6  -5    4  -3' -6  -5-4
So sad to besiege your love so head on 
-8 7  -(67) -6'  
  Stay this time
 -6 -(67) 7-(67)-6 6     
Stay tonight in a lie
6  -6-(67)-6-5  4  -3''
I'm only asking but I
-3'' -6 -6  -6-5 
I think you know
 4   4   -3' -3'-3''-2 
Come on, take me away
 4    4   4  -3'-3''-2 
Come on, take me away
 4   4   -3' -3''-3''
Come on, take me home
-3''-2 -2-3'' 
 Home  again

-2' -5 -5 -5  6      -5	   -5  5
And if the mountain should crumble
4  5 -5 4 4   -3' -3''-2'' 
Or disappear into the sea
-3'-3'-3'    4 -4 -5 
Not a tear, no not I 

-87-(67)-(67) -6
Stay in this time
 -6 -(67) 7 -6 -6  6   
Stay tonight in a lie
(45)-5 -4-3'  -2'' -3' -3' -3'
 Ever  after, this love in time
-4  -5  6   6   -6 -5 -5
And if you save your love
-6 -6 6     -(67) -6  6
Save your... Save it all
 -3'  6   -6   6   6 
Don't push me too far 
 -4    6  -6 -6 -6 6 -6
Don't push me too far 
-5-5-4
Tonight
544-3'' 
Tonight
-24-3''
Tonight
