INDOOR FIREWORKS ELVIS COSTELLO ( Capo 2nd fret ) D We play these parlour games We play at make believe G D/F# Em When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave G D/F# Em A D Everybody loves a happy ending but we don't even try G D/F# Em We go straight past pretending A To the part where everybody loves to cry Chorus: D Indoor fireworks Can still burn your fingers A Indoor fireworks D We swore we were safe as houses They're not so spectacular G D/F# Em They don't burn up in the sky But they can dazzle or delight A Or bring a tear D When the smoke gets in your eyes You were the spice of life The gin in my vermouth And though the sparks would fly I thought our love was fireproof Sometimes we'd fight in public darling With very little cause But different kinds of sparks would fly When we got on our own behind closed doors Chorus It's time to tell the truth These things have to be faced My fuse is burning out And all that powder's gone to waste Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through I'll build a bonfire of my dreams And burn a broken effigy of me and you Chorus ***************************************************************************************** The above is solely MY INTERPRETATION of this great song, in a format aimed at learning guitarists.
