[Verse 1]
Fm C AbI used to think that love was like the stories
A#7 DbA princess feeling lonely
AbTrapped inside a tower
Fm C AbSo desperate that she put herself in danger
A#7 DbMade saviors out of strangers
AbAnd gave 'em all the power
[Pre-Chorus]
C Db EbBut then, you made me wonder
Fm A#7Where's the horse? Where's the armor?
Db EbTell me, how come there's no dragons in these halls?
[Chorus]
DbI thought I had to die for you lovе me
EbThought that peace could only comе from war
AbThought I had to break down to be found
FmThat it could only work if it hurts
DbThought I had to set myself on fire
EbIf I ever wanted to be warm
Ab C Db FmBut you give me a slow burn
Db Ab C DbHmm
[Verse 2]
Fm C AbSo used to leaving teardrops on the pages
A#7 DbWatching battles rage, and
AbWriting it all off
Fm C Ab
Bm-mm, but you're touching me and suddenly, it's easy
A#7 DbI'm not even bleeding
AbBut I believe it all
[Pre-Chorus]
C Db EbCan I speak with the author?
Fm A#7Where's the climax of this novel?
Db EbTell me, how come there's no crisis love can solve?
[Chorus]
DbI thought I had to die for you lovе me
EbThought that peace could only comе from war
AbThought I had to break down to be found
FmThat it could only work if it hurts
DbThought I had to set myself on fire
EbIf I ever wanted to be warm
Ab C Db FmBut you give me a slow burn
Db Ab C Db A#m7Hmm
[Bridge]
Eb FmI look at you and I can feel the heat
A#m7It spreads right through my skin
Eb FmBut I don't fan the flames and I don't freeze
A#m7I just let it in
Ab Db EbWe can lay our weapons down and still have everything
[Chorus]
DbI don't have to die for you to love me
EbI don't ever have to Go to war
AbI don't need to break down, you still found me
FmWithout any smoke leading you to my door
DbI don't have to set myself on fire
EbI don't need to hurt to feel your warmth
Ab C Db Fm'Cause you give me a slow burn
Db Ab C DbHmm
