[Verse]
Ab C7b9 Fm7
I look in your eyes and I can see
Ebm9 Ab7 Dbmaj7
You've loved so dangerously
Cm7 Fm7 Bbm7 Bbm7/Eb
You're not trustin' your heart to anyone
Ab C7b9 Fm7
You tell me you're gonna play it smart
Ebm9 Ab7 Dbmaj7
We're through before we start
Cm7 Fm7 Bbm7 Bbm7/Eb
But I believe that we've only just begun
Dbm7 Abmaj7
When it's this good, there's no saying no
Dbm7 Db/Eb
I want you so, I'm ready to go
[Chorus]
Fm7
Through the fire
Bbm7 Eb/G
To the limit, to the wall
Ab Cm7
For a chance to be with you
Dbmaj7 Gm7 C7b9
I'd gladly risk it all
Fm7
Through the fire
Bbm7 Eb/G
Through whatever, come what may
Ab
For a chance of loving you
Cm7 Dbmaj7 Gm7
I'd take it all the way
C7b9 Dbmaj7
Right down to the wire
Dbmaj7/Eb Repeat Intro
Even through the fire
[Verse]
I know you're afraid of what you feel
You still need time to heal
And I can help if you'll only let me try
You touched me and somethin' in me knew
What I could have with you
Now I'm not ready to kiss that dream goodbye
When it's this sweet, there's no saying no
I need you so, I'm ready to go

To whatever

Through the fire

To the limit

Through the fire
