Building Me A Fire Lyrics & Chords By Steve Forbert

[Instrumental Intro]

Well I’m lonely now
More than I used to be…
I need more from you
More than you need from me…
Well I’m stranded here…
But I don’t need to be …

So I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave you
So I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave you
Now I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave… you

Well my solitude
Sure gave me peace of mind…
It may all… the crooked ways
That much harder to find…
But they’re all I knew…
Became a mem…o…ry…

So I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave you
Now I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave you
So I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave… you

[Instrumental Bridge]

Well I’m stranded here…
But I don’t need to be…

So I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave you
So I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave you
Now I’m building me a fire and
The smoke’s gonna leave… you

Well I’m lonely now

Well I’m lonely now

Well I’m lonely now
