Words and Music By Jack Lather
October 2006
Played with a capo on the 2nd fret
Play with key of A harmonica
[Intro]
G Em C D Gplays once just acoustic
G Em C D Gx2 with Harmonica played over
[Verse]
G
I was running from time
Em
you were running from truth
C D
I was running from everything that I could
G
except for you.
G
You didn't care what was wrong
Em
I thought we were right
C
just two strangers who found each other
D G
running into the night.
Em G
And when darkness it turned into light
D C
I held you in my arms so tight
G D
right there by myside, right by myside
Em G
I knew that this wouldn't last
D C
and that present would turn into past
G D
oh it happens so fast, lord it happens to fast.
[Instrumental]
G Em C D Gx2 with Harmonica played over
[Chorus]
Em
We started a fire on ice
G
how it burned and it shine
D C
melting away all the doubts in each other
G
we hoped to never find.
Em
I payed a hard hard price
G
but still i'd never think twice
D C G
to start a fire on ice, start a fire on ice.
G
Well summer turned into fall
Em
winter turned into spring
C
and my memories of you and I
D G
just turned into songs that I can sing.
G
You took a gamble on love
Em
I took a roll of the dice
C D
and together we burned what a hard lesson learned
G
like fire on ice.
Em G
And i'd give all that money can buy
D C
it'd be gone in the blink of an eye
G
if you were back by myside
D
back where you use to lie
Em G
yes I knew this is how it would end
D C
not a lover not even a frined
G D
but i'd do it all over again,over and over again.
[Instrumental]
G Em C D G x2 with Harmonica played over
Last chorus played soft with acoustic only
[Chorus]
Em
We started a fire on ice
G
how it burned and it shine
D C
melting away all the doubts in each other
G
we hoped to never find.
Em
I payed a hard hard price
G
but still i'd never think twice
D C G
to start a fire on ice, start a fire on ice.
[Outro]
Em C D G
