Am - E

1. I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying,

E

those devil lips that know so well the art of lying,

E7

and though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher,

E E7 Am

I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire.

Am

2. Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning,

A7 Dm

I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning.

Am

And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes

E Am

my whole world crashes without your kiss of fire.

- - - - - - G C

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying ?

G C

What good is there denying, you're all that I desire.

E Am

Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely

B7 E

if I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be !

- - - - - - - E - - - - - - - E

Don't pity me ! Don't pity me !

- - - - - - - - Am

3. Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow,

A7 Dm

love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow.

Am

I know that I must have your kiss, although it dooms me,

E Am

though it consumes me, your kiss of fire.
