(Intro.)
|(G) / / / |(G) / / / |(Am) / / / |(Am) / / / | x 2

(Verse 1)
(G)We don't get too many nights, all alone peace and quiet
(Am)Call it busy, call it a life
And (G)I don't tell you near enough, just how much I'm missing us
And (Am)making that temperature rise
But girl, (C) I'm gonna show you tonight

(Chorus)
So, let's (G)drink what's left of this bottle of wine
Move (Am) a little closer till the sparks start flyin'
Turn the (C)lights down low
And pull the (C)Conway off of the shelf (G)
Then we'll dance (G) through the kitchen and straight down the hall
Let my old (Am) blue jeans and your sundress fall
Girl, we're (C)holding the lighter
And (C)fires don't start themselves (G) / / / |(G) / / / |(Am) / / / |(Am) / / / |

(Verse 2)
(G)Girl, I wanna take my time, love you slow, love you right
(Am)Shadows dancing on the wall
Your (G)lips, your hips, your fingertips, every inch of you just fits
(Am)Like the shirt that I got on
Gonna love (C) you, baby, all night long

(Chorus)
So, let's drink (G) what's left of this bottle of wine
Move (Am) a little closer till the sparks start flyin'
Turn the (C)lights down low
And pull the (C)Conway off of the shelf (G)
Then we'll dance (G) through the kitchen and straight down the hall
Let my old (Am) blue jeans and your sundress fall
Girl, we're (C)holding the lighter
And (C)fires don't start themselves (G) / / / |
(G) Naw, (Am) fires don't start themselves

(Solo)
|(C) / / / |(C) / / / |(C) / (F)(C)|(F)(C)(F)(C)|

(Bridge)
Naw, (G) there ain't no putting it out
(G)Might just burn this whole place down, (Am) starting right now

(Chorus)
So, let's drink (G) what's left of this bottle of wine
Move (Am) a little closer till the sparks start flyin'
Turn the (C)lights down low
And pull the (C)Conway off of the shelf (G)
Then we'll dance (G) through the kitchen and straight down the hall
Let my old (Am) blue jeans and your sundress fall
Girl, we're (C)holding the lighter
And (C)fires don't start themselves (G) / / / |
(G) Naw, (Am) no, fires don't start themselves (C) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) - - - - -
