Intro:(G-Em-C-D-G)plays once just acoustic
      (G-Em-C-D-G)x2 with Harmonica played over

                  (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.

(G-Em-C-D-G)x2 with Harmonica played over

                     (Em)
Chorus) We started a fire on ice
                             (G)
        how it burned and it shined
                (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.

(G-Em-C-D-G)x2 with Harmonica played over
   -Last chorus played soft with acoustic only-

               (Em)
Chorus) We started a fire on ice
                             (G)
        how it burned and it shined
                (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.
