After the fire the fire still burns,
    Dadd2       D         Dadd2      D
the heart grows older but never ever learns.
    Dadd2    D        Dadd2   D    Dadd2  D
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns,

I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
             D(maj7)                                        G
and then the sound of a breaking window and the scream of a tyre
             D(maj7)                               G
and then the sound of distant gun and the cry of a hungry child.
             D
The night is hot
    Dadd2     D
but nothing's gonna stop
     D  G
this ga---ng going wild.

I saw Matt Dillon in black and white
                         G
there ain't no colour in memories.
            D
He rode his brother's Harley acrosss the TV
                            G
while I was laughing at Dom deLuise.

Now I'm cycling all my video tapes, I'm crying and I'm joking.
                D
I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking,
                G
I've gotta stop smoking.

after the fire
         Gsus  Hm
the fire still burns, raging through the pain,

blackening the promises, the tears and the rain.
              G
The fire will burn

'til the wind begins to turn
                    C
and it all begins again.
