VERSE 1
Cadd9 – Am7
This love I’m in feels like a parched forest floor
Aching for the rains that haven’t come
An uneasy truce like needles of spruce that pile up into fuel
Fmaj7 – G – Am
Like underbrush in a heat wave, late June {2x}
VERSE 2
Cadd9 – Am7
And a careless word unkind could set the valley floor alight
With the fury of every hurt just covered over without a word
Fmaj7 – G – Am
Is going up like wild fire tonight {2x}
CHORUS
F – G – Am
Fire season finally burn this old love away
It’s been ready to go up for far too long
The quiet kindling when there’s nothing left to say
means this love won’t outlive this fire season
VERSE 3
Cadd9 – Am7
The Marine layer rolls in just after 3am
A dew falls and the flames just settle down
No more trees block the way of the rising of the day
Fmaj7 – G – Am
And the sunrise slides down the hillside to me
CHORUS
F – G – Am – Em
Fire season finally burn this old love away
It’s been ready to go up for far too long
The quiet kindling when there’s nothing left to say
means this love won’t outlive this fire season

Bridge
Dmadd9. — Fmaj7
What love will grow in the ashes of the old?
Dmadd9. –G
What love will grow in the ashes of the old?
Dmadd9. — Fmaj7
Is it dead and gone or will my love soon be reborn?
Dmadd9. — G
What love will grow here?
CHORUS
F – G – Am
Fire season finally burn this old love away
It’s been ready to go up for far too long
The quiet kindling when there’s nothing left to say
means this love won’t outlive this fire season
