C# 
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
