[Verse]
 
            Em
There's the moon asking to stay
F                   Em                Eb
Long enough for the clouds to fly me away
          F              Em          Eb
Well it's my time coming,  I'm not afraid
          Em
Afraid to die
   Em     F#m   G    A
My fading voice sings
   B    A   Em
Of lo-o-o-o-ove
        Em    F#m       G       A   B    A
But she cries    to the clicking of time...
    Em
Oh, time
[Chorus]
F
Wait in the fire
Em                  Eb
Wait in the fire...
F
Wait in the fire
Em                  Eb
Wait in the fire...
    Em
The fire...

[Verse]
        Em
And she weeps on my arm
F               Em               Eb
 Walking to the bright lights in  sorrow
   F                      Em              Eb
Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow
      Em
Oh my love
        Em      F#m   G   A       B      A
And the rain is fal---ling  and I believe
            Em
My time has come
     Em       F#m    G   A      
It reminds me of the pain
        B    A
I might leave
        Em
Leave behind
[Chorus]
F
Wait in the fire
Em                  Eb
Wait in the fire...
F
Wait in the fire
Em                  Eb
Wait in the fire...
    Em
The fire...
