The Fire And The Thud

 
              
 
Intro: Em 
 
    Em 
you showed me my tommorow 
  Em 
beside a box of matches 
  Em 
a welcome threating stir 
 
( Em ) 
 
   Em 
my hopes of being stolen 
      Em 
might just ring true 
                   Em 
depends who you prefer 
 
( Em ) 
 
Em                     G 
If its true your gonna run away 
C                      C7 
tell me where ill meet you there 
 
( Em  C ) (2x) 
 
     Em 
Am I snapping the excitement? 
     Em 
If i pack away the laughter 
    Em 
and tell you how it feels 
 
( Em ) 
 
         Em 
And does burden come to meet ya 
       Em 
If ive questions of the feature 
     Em 
that rolls on your dream reel 
 
( Em ) 
 
    Em            G 
The day after you stole my heart 
     C                       C7                             Em    C7 
Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you 
 
( Em  C7 ) 
 
         Am           Em 
And your hiding in my soup 
        Am                Em 
and the book reveals your face 
              Am              Em 
and as you're splashing in my eyelids 
    Am               Em       Am 
the concentration continually breaks 
        Em                 Am 
I did request the mark you cast 
         Em 
It didnt heal as fast 
  C 
I hear your voice in silences 
                             C7                 Em     C7 
will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud 
 
( Em  C7 ) 
 
       Em 
In the jostling crowd your not allowed to tell the truth and the photo 
         Em 
booths a liar 
 
( Em ) 
 
        Em 
And the sharpened explanations 
    Em                             Em 
but theres no screaming reason to enquire 
 
( Em ) 
 
            Em                 G                C 
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things theyve never seen 
C7                         Em 
if it smacks them in their temples
