[This song is actually in the key of A, then it switches to B; I'm guessing
that Mary Chapin plays it in G & A with a capo on the second fret.]
[On a single guitar, you can do a pretty good rendition of the descending
pattern in C(9)-D by playing C(9) as x30010 and then changing to x30000
right before the D. For D(9) (in the latter part of the song), play it
as xx0230, and then xx0220 right before the E.]
[Each chord is half a measure.]

intro
SOL SOL DO(9) RE SOL SOL DO(9) RE
When you set a match to your heart, fueling it with bitterness and doubt
SOL SOL DO(9) RE SOL SOL DO(9) RE
That's the place that once it starts, no amount of tears can put out
MIm7 MIm7 RE RE DO DO RE RE
I know you're scared, but no one's spared when you play with matches
SOL SOL DO(9) RE
You got me walking through fire
SOL SOL DO(9) RE
You got me walking through fire
Maybe you've been burned by lovers, maybe you've been scarred by the pain
But baby, I'm not like the others, drawing moths to a flame
Spite is like a spark, crackling in the dark, consuming all it catches
And you got me walking through fire
You got me walking through fire to get to you
Got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

But baby, I am not your deceiver or your eloquent liar

Your jealous heart is tearing us apart, turning love to ashes

When you got me walking through fire
You've got me walking through fire to get to you
Got me walking through fire
You've got me walking through fire
You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)
You've got me walking through fire (walking through fire)

As the flames shoot higher

You got me walking through fire (through fire), walking
