After the fire the fire still burns,
the heart grows older but never ever learns.
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns,
after the fire the fire still burns.

C# F#
I heard a voice asking what happens after the fire
C#
And then the sound of a breaking window
F#
And the scream of a tire
C#
And then the sound of distant gun
F#
And the cry of a hungry child
C#
The night is hot but nothing's gonna stop
F#
This gang going wild
C#
After the fire the fire still burns
F#
The heart grows older but never ever learns
C#
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
F#
After the fire, the fire still burns
I saw Matt Dillon in black and white
There ain't no color my memories
He rode his brother's old Harley across the TV
While I was laughing at Dom deLuise
Now I'm cycling all my video tapes
I'm crying and I'm choking
I've gotta stop drinking, I've gotta stop thinking
I've gotta stop smoking
Cause after the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire
Bbm
The fire still burns, raging through the pain,
Blackening the promises, the tears and the pain
F#
The fire still burns 'till the wind begins to turn
B
And it all begins again
C#
After the fire, the fire still burns
After the fire, the fire still burns
The heart grows older but never ever learns
The memories smoulder and the soul always yearns
After the fire
