  C#m                   E
I know I do this every time
            C#m               E
I walk the line, I play with fire
      C#m                      E
And I stop myself before the crime
            C#m                     E
I walk the line, yeah, I play with fire

               A
I don't wanna push you way too much
B             C#m
I don't wanna lean that way too far
              E
I don't wanna ever learn the hard way

Chorus:
                            F#m                     B7
But if you're looking for stable, that'll never be me
                       E                          Amaj7
If you're looking for faithful, that'll never be me

Dry your tears now, don't you cry
I'm by your side, at least for a while
I know I do this every time
I walk the line, yeah, I play with fire

I don't wanna push you way too much
I don't wanna lean that way too far
I don't wanna ever learn the hard way, no
I don't wanna keep you in the dark
I don't wanna gamble with your heart
I don't wanna ever leave you lonely

Chorus:
But if you're looking for stable, that'll never be me
If you're looking for faithful, that'll never be me
If you're looking for someone to be all that you need
That'll never be me
(Hard as I try)
That'll never be me
(I play with fire)

                                C#m
Can't get too close to the sun (Fire)
                               E
Baby, you're the only one, oh, I
           Amaj7                Amaj7
I'd never lie to you, baby, oh (Fire)
               B                      C#m
You give me a reason to run from the fire
                        B/D#
'Cause baby, you're the only one
    E
Oh, I swear I'd never lie

Chorus:
                        F#m                     B7
If you're looking for stable, that'll never be me
                    E                        Amaj7
But I hope that I'm able to be all that you need
                       F#m                    B7
If you think that I'm someone to give up and leave
                E     Amaj7
That'll never be me, no
                       F#m                    B7
If you think that I'm someone to give up and leave
                  E
That'll never be me

(Hard as I try)
                  F#m
That'll never be me, no

                  C#m
That'll never be me
