Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
Indoor Fireworks Elvis Costello Capo 2 When playing these 3 chords, we want to hear the bass notes G, F#, E. The ring and pinky fingers stay in place. G = 3 2 0 0 3 3 Dadd4/F# = 2 x 0 0 3 3 Em7 = 0 2 2 x 3 3 In the chorus, on each syllable of "they can dazzle" the bass note only is played (G, F#, E, B). [Verse 1]
We play these Dparlour games We play at make believe When we get to the part where D7I say that I'm Ggoing to leave EverGybody Dadd4/F#loves a Em7happy ending but Awe don't even Dtry GWe go Dadd4/F#straight Em7past pretending ATo the part where everybody Bmloves to cryA
[Chorus]
DIndoor fireworksD4 D Can still burn your fingers AIndoor fireworks DWe swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
They don't D7burn up inG the sky But Gthey F#can EdazBzle Aor delight AOr bring a tear When the smoke gets in your DeyD4es D
[Verse 2]
You were the Dspice of life DThe gin in my vermouth DAnd though the sparks would fly I D7thought our love was fGireproof GSometimes we'd Dadd4/F#fight in Em7public darling With Avery little Dcause But Gdifferent Dadd4/F#kinds of sEm7parks would fly AWhen we got on our own behind cBmlosed doorsA
[Chorus]
DIndoor fireworksD4 D Can still burn your fingers AIndoor fireworks DWe swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
They don't D7burn up inG the sky But Gthey F#can EdazBzle Aor delight AOr bring a tear When the smoke gets in your DeyD4es D
[Verse 3]
It's time to Dtell the truth DThese things have to be faced DMy fuse is burning out And D7all that powder's Ggone to waste GDon't think Dadd4/F#for a Em7moment dear that Awe'll ever be Dthrough GI'll build aDadd4/F# bonfire Em7of my dreams AAnd burn a broken effigy of Bmme and youA
[Chorus]
DIndoor fireworksD4 D Can still burn your fingers AIndoor fireworks DWe swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
They don't D7burn up inG the sky But Gthey F#can EdazBzle Aor delight AOr bring a tear When the smoke gets in your DeyD4es D
