[Intro]
Tick, tick, the old keys bite
Step too close and you’ll ignite
[Verse 1]
You came in with the grin
Like a match in a tin
I saw the spark in your hand
You said, “Don’t understand”
But I know that look
Like a page from a burned-up book
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room starts to shake
Every promise you make
I can taste that spark
In the edge of the dark
[Chorus]
Dynamite, dynamite
You light me up tonight
Dynamite, dynamite
We burn it all just right
Hold me close, then fly
Dynamite, dynamite
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, blow me open
Oh-oh, keep it broken
Oh-oh, dynamite
Oh-oh, all night
[Verse 2]
You wear thunder on your tongue
And the old lies come unsung
I laugh when the glass starts to ring
When you say that reckless thing
Your hands, my alibi
We make a pretty bad idea come alive
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the floorboards wake
With each step we take
I can feel that spark
Curling under my heart
[Chorus]
Dynamite, dynamite
You light me up tonight
Dynamite, dynamite
We burn it all just right
Hold me close, then fly
Dynamite, dynamite
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, blow me open
Oh-oh, keep it broken
Oh-oh, dynamite
Oh-oh, all night
[Verse 3]
I wore black for the bloom
When you walked into the room
You spun gold from the scars
Like a ghost from the yard
And I knew, I knew then
We were trouble in a glittering skin
[Lead Bridge]
[F] Say my name, say it slow
[M] Watch it crack, watch it glow
[F] One more step, let it go
[M] We’re the fuse, don’t you know
[Lead Bridge]
[F] Spin me round, set the trace
[M] Kiss the smoke off my face
[F] If we fall, let it show
[M] Make it bright as it goes
[Chorus]
Dynamite, dynamite
You light me up tonight
Dynamite, dynamite
We burn it all just right
Hold me close, then fly
Dynamite, dynamite
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, blow me open
Oh-oh, keep it broken
Oh-oh, dynamite
Oh-oh, all night
[Verse 4]
Under that crooked moon
We were gone way too soon
Your laugh hit like a flare
Now it’s hanging in the air
I don’t want safe, I don’t want clean
I want that dangerous in-between
[Lead Bridge]
[F] Let it snap, let it sing
[M] Hear the chain reaction ring
[F] Come alive in the flame
[M] We don’t leave, we become the same
[Chorus]
Dynamite, dynamite
You light me up tonight
Dynamite, dynamite
We burn it all just right
Hold me close, then fly
Dynamite, dynamite
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, blow me open
Oh-oh, keep it broken
Oh-oh, dynamite
Oh-oh, all night
[Verse 5]
Your shadow brushed my door
And I wanted more, more, more
Like a drum in the chest
Like a dare in a dress
I’m already halfway gone
But I like how we come undone
[Verse 6]
When the last spark lands
We’ll be ash in our hands
Still I’d do it again
If you’re the fire, I’m the wind
[Lead Bridge]
[F] Say my name, say it slow
[M] Watch it crack, watch it glow
[F] One more step, let it go
[M] We’re the fuse, don’t you know
[Chorus]
Dynamite, dynamite
You light me up tonight
Dynamite, dynamite
We burn it all just right
Hold me close, then fly
Dynamite, dynamite

Oh-oh, all night

Dynamite, dynamite

Hold me close, then fly
