E  C#m  G#m  B    E  C#m  G#m  B

[Verse 1]
E                     C#m
Girl I know we just had the talk
        G#m                 B
Said we needed some time to cool it off
    E                         C#m                G#m   B
And I've been on my side of town, just laying low
         E              C#m
You come walking in this little bar
         G#m                B
Like you could set off that fire alarm
    E                         C#m              G#m
And one little drink won't hurt but don't you know

[Chorus]
E          C#m                G#m
Girl we're lightning striking matches
B                  E
That's what always happens
     C#m        G#m        B
When we get too close
E                C#m           G#m
When you start dancing in the neon
   B          E
Whisper baby dream on
          C#m              G#m
Then the whiskey hits the coke
                   B                   E     C#m  G#m   B
Next thing you know we're going up in smoke

[Verse 2]
   E                     C#m
We start out slow like a cigarette
G#m                   B
Burn all night like we always did
           E               C#m            G#m    B
They'll be sweeping up the ashes when we go
             E             C#m             G#m
Yeah, we're playing with a fire we can't control
N.C.
And we both know

[Chorus]
E          C#m                G#m
Girl we're lightning striking matches
    B              E
That's what always happens
     C#m        G#m        B
When we get too close
E                C#m           G#m
When you start dancing in the neon
   B          E
Whisper baby dream on
          C#m              G#m
Then the whiskey hits the coke
                   B                   E
Next thing you know we're going up in smoke

[Solo]
C#m  G#m   B     E  C#m   G#m   B

[Bridge]
      E                   C#m
Going up, going up, going up in smoke
      G#m                 B
Going up, going up, going up in smoke
      E                   C#m
Going up, going up, going up in smoke
      G#m      B
Going up, up, up in smoke

[Chorus]
E          C#m                G#m
Girl we're lightning striking matches
                   E             C#m           G#m      B
That's what always happens when  we get too close
E                C#m          G#m      B         E
When you start dancing in the neon  whisper baby dream on
          C#m              G#m
Then the whiskey hits the coke
                   B                   E      C#m  G#m
Next thing you know we're going up in smoke

[Outro]
         B              E   C#m  G#m
Yea were goin up in smoke
          B             E    C#m  G#m  B    E  C#m   G#m
yeah were goin up in smoke
