If there’s a rocket tie me to it
De akkoorden in dit nummer
Am Am G (X 4) G F Two weeks later like a surplus reprieve G F I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve G F I wound it round and round my finger so tight G F C It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside G F And I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat G F I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet G F The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush G F Of ovens, aeroplanes and of distant car horns C G F A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry C G F A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember C G F I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though C G F The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music G F I said I knew the beat 'cause it matched your own beat G F It's become my engine my own source of heat G F The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves G F Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave C G F A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry C G F A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember C G F I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though C G F The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music C G F Wooohhhhooohhh woooohhhooohhhh (X 4) C G F A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry C G F A pulse your pulse, it's the only thing I can remember C G F I break you don't, I was always set to self-destruct though C G F Am The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
