[Verse 1]
              D
We play these parlour games

We play at make believe
                              D7             G
When we get to the part where I say that I'm going to leave
    G     Dadd4/F# Em7              A             D
Everybody loves a  happy ending but we don't even try
G     Dadd4/F# Em7
We go straight past pretending
A                           Bm          A
To the part where everybody loves to cry

[Chorus]
D               D4 D
Indoor fireworks

Can still burn your fingers
A
Indoor fireworks
D
We swore we were safe as houses

They're not so spectacular
           D7        G
They don't burn up in the sky
    G    F#  E  B   A
But they can dazzle or delight
A
Or bring a tear
                            D D4 D
When the smoke gets in your eyes

[Verse 2]
             D
You were the spice of life
D
The gin in my vermouth
D
And though the sparks would fly
  D7                    G
I thought our love was fireproof
G              Dadd4/F# Em7
Sometimes we'd fight in public darling
     A           D
With very little cause
    G         Dadd4/F#  Em7
But different kinds of sparks would fly
A                              Bm         A
When we got on our own behind closed doors

[Chorus]
D               D4 D
Indoor fireworks

Can still burn your fingers
A
Indoor fireworks
D
We swore we were safe as houses

They're not so spectacular
           D7        G
They don't burn up in the sky
    G    F#  E  B   A
But they can dazzle or delight
A
Or bring a tear
                            D D4 D
When the smoke gets in your eyes

[Verse 3]
             D
It's time to tell the truth
D
These things have to be faced
D
My fuse is burning out
    D7                G
And all that powder's gone to waste
G           Dadd4/F# Em7              A             D
Don't think for   a  moment dear that we'll ever be through
G           Dadd4/F# Em7
I'll build a bonfire of my dreams
A                           Bm        A
And burn a broken effigy of me and you

[Chorus]
D               D4 D
Indoor fireworks

Can still burn your fingers
A
Indoor fireworks
D
We swore we were safe as houses

They're not so spectacular
           D7        G
They don't burn up in the sky
    G    F#  E  B   A
But they can dazzle or delight
A
Or bring a tear
                            D D4 D
When the smoke gets in your eyes
