Burn
E
Left me out, a hound ungroomed with one neigh moon
Bm A E
I was consumed, I howled to it
E
Oh I was loud, in drinking rooms and dim saloons
Bm A E
When I found you, I found you wounded
Db D A E
But you wore your heart like a la-dy
Db D F#m
And I lit your smokes like a man
E
Burn
E
Gathered round, when eyes adjusted, in fire we trusted
Bm A E
Tend to a bed of kindle, I stoked it on and on
E
When dry wind roused our hearts unready, it painted red with
Bm A E
orange hands, and a brush more hot than what we want
Bm A E
All around we just danced, so drunk upon the lawn
Db D A E
And you danced the steps of a la-dy
Db D F#m
And I tried to lead like a man
B Dbm D
And the bells only ring in emergencies
F#m A E
There's hazard and heat to discern, in a controlled burn
E
When we were found, our molars made the sorry case
Bm A E
[no lyric]
Db D F#m A E
"Where goes our boy? Where goes our girl?"
Db D F#m A E
Our fathers cried, I ne— ver heard
B Dbm D
And the bells only ring in emergencies
F#m A
There's hazard and heat to discern,
F#m A
It warms and it dances it speaks out of turn and it runs
E
Controlled burn
