Fire And The Thud

Tom : Am
Em C Am
You showed me my tomorrow
Em C Am
Beside a box of matches
Em C Am
A welcome threatening stir
  Em  C  Am   E   C   Am
My hopes of being stolen
Em
Might just ring true
Em C Am
Depends who you prefer
Em G
But if it's true you're gonna run away
C
Tell me where
C7
I'll meet you there
  Em        C          Am
I snapping the excitement
Em C Am
If I pack away the laugther
Em C Am
And tell you how it feels
Em C Am
And does burden come to meet ya
Em C Am
If I've questions of the feature
Em C Am
that runs on your dream wheel
  Em    C       Am     Em       G
The day after you stole my heart,
C C7 Em C Am
Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you
Em C Am
With you
Am Em
And now you're hiding in my sleep
Am Em
And the book reveals your face
Am Em
And there's a splashing in my eyelids
Am Em
As the concentration continually breaks
Am Em
I did request the mark you cast
Am
Didn't heal as fast
C
I hear your voice in silences
C7
* Em C Am
Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud?
  Em  C  Am   Em   C   Am   Em
And the jostling crowd
Em
You're not allowed to tell the truth
Em C Am
And the photo booth's a liar
  Em  C    Am   Em    C    Am
And the sharpened explanation
Em
But there's no screaming reason to inquire
  Em      C         Am        Em         G
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes
C C7 Em
With things they never see if it smacked them in their temples
