FIREWORKS
Words and music by Embrace

C Am Em C Am Em C

[Verse 1]
I stretched over to reach you
I tried to meet you, I’ve been wrong
Now the fireworks in me are gone
It’s time I realised

[Verse 2 – same chords]
My girl you make all the right moves
And sees through all my wrongs
When the fireworks in me are gone
Then I realised

And I won’t need convincing
I’ve seen enough to want to try and change things
You fell in love, I fell in line
I thought I found my place
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe
Have I let you, I never let you down.
C Am Em G

[Verse 3 – same as verse 1]
I work all day and I won’t fight
When it feels right and its wrong
When the fireworks in me are all gone
Then I realised

And I won’t need convincing
I’ve seen enough to want to try and change things
You fell in love, I fell in line
I thought I found my place
Before I knew how much it cost to play it safe
Could I leave you, I’d never let you down.

C Am Em C

EMBRACE – COME BACK TO WHAT YOU KNOW
written by McNamara/McNamara

Transcribed by Karim Adab with help from Tak.

Embrace tune their guitars down a whole step so this is played in the Bb
position.

Come back to what you know,
Take everything, real slow,
I wanna lose you but I can’t,
Let you go.
Before you interfere,
Let me make it loud and clear,
That you got no more to prove.
I’m the fool.

So take it easy, on yourself,
There’s nothing new about, declaring how you felt.
I’ll never let you down,
Or ever feel the way that I’ve been fearing now.

CHORUS :

Coming back to what you know won’t mean a thing.
Everything that you’ve done keeps you from me.
Now I know that I need more time,
Come back and let me see your eye.
I’m coming back to what you know,
Cos I know that I need it now it’s gone.
Now I know that I need more time,
Come back and let me see your eye.

MIDDLE 8:

So hang on to what you’ve got,
keep it safe.
Hang on to what you’ve got,
keep it safe from harm.
You’ll find.
There’s nothing new that we can’t leave behind.

(ending on Eb then back to verse)

My Girl Is Just A Retread
I Lost Her When I Hit The Breaks
Our Love Hit Science Fiction Levels
Now I’m Bending ‘cos I’ve Made A Mistake
Here I Stand Afraid
With No More To Say
Now I Feel So Insecure
I Can’t Save
Something I Feel So Much For
Won’t You Stay
And Leave A Light For Me
