A Little Fire (c) 2026 Aaron Nathans

Am You lit a match to kindling F And soon our eyes were twinkling Am G no B We roasted smores beneath the sky Am Entwined upon this harvest night F We warm our hands and feast our eyes Am G no B As we watched the embers fly B C You pulled me closer G Am I heard you say, let’s get inspired B C To get what you want G Am Sometimes you need a little fire

The jeweler forged our wedding rings We honeymooned on soldered wings Tempered steel built this resort Hang gliding we felt like gods Grasping tight that hot-rolled rod We beheld miles of golden shore

You pulled me closer Each others’ object of desire To get what you want Sometimes you need a little fire

F Mauna Key and Mauna Loa Am Fire in the valley down below F Where streaming molten magma boils G7 It sears the trees but feeds the soil

Old Lāhainā Lūʻau night The hula ladies danced with knives A fire pit ringed with banyan trees On the spit was burning flesh I saw in your eyes I might be next As I inhaled the ocean breeze

You pulled me closer I know the blood that you require To get what you want Sometimes you need a little fire

Passionfruit and boiling rage Screaming what we have to say We scorch the earth, the old world dies And from this dust, we shall arise

Timmy’s wearing party clothes Birthday cake from a wood-fired stove Below the table our hands attach Light the candle, sing aloud He makes his wish and blows it out This new life rising from the ash

I pulled you closer My forever object of desire To get in closer Sometimes you need a little fire
