| F | Am | C | C |
| F | Am | C | C |
 
[Verse 1]
F Am C
Caught in a wildfire
F Am C
Choking on the flames of a strange pyre
Gm7 C7
The ashes of a dream feed the fantasy
F Am C
Locked on the inside
F Am C
Tangled up in chains and the crazy lies
Gm7 C7
Terrified and tame in silence we escape
 
[Chorus]
F Am
Kiss my heart awake
Gm7
We're so far away
C
I'm sleeping with a stranger
 
[Post-Chorus]
| F | Am | C | C |

Lonely and tongue-tied
F Am C
All is out of place and the words you hide
Gm7 C7
Are written on your face, I'm lifting up the lace
 
[Chorus]
F Am
Kiss my heart awake
Gm7
We're so far away
C
I'm sleeping with a stranger

Oh, kiss my heart awake
Gm7
We're so far away
C
I'm sleeping with a stranger
 
[Bridge]
Bb Gm7 Dm
Oh, come back to me
Bb Gm7 Dm Gm7
Stop whispering
C
Have we fallen far too deep?
