[Verse]
Em D
I never want to see you
Cmaj7 Bm A5
In the raw and searing flesh
Em D
I don't ever want to hear you
Cmaj7 G G/F#
Singing softly to the dead
Em D
I never want to feel your skin
Cmaj7 Bm A5
Running warm along my side
Em D
I don't ever want to sink that way again
Cmaj7 G G/F#
It would be easier to die
Em Cmaj7 Em Cmaj7
To die
[Verse]
Em D
I'm tending the pyres of my frustrations
Cmaj7
Burning leaves on buried dreams
Bm A5
Kneeling in to rake the ashes
Em D
I'm embering. You're smoldered out.
C
My hands are free, my lungs are proud
G G/F# C
Your forgiveness is a fading fiction
G G/F# C
Your forgiveness is a fading fiction
[Chorus]
G D Em
These flames have never burned so high
G D C
I won't be staring in your eyes
[Interlude]
Em Cmaj7 (x2)
[Bridge]
Em D
I'm trying hard not to remember
Cmaj7 Bm A5
The way the smoke drifts through the air
Em D
We'll all be dead come November
Cmaj7 G G/F#
Four months out of every year
Em
Every year
Cmaj7
(Every year)
Em
Every year
Cmaj7
(Every year)
[Chorus]
Em D Cmaj7
I won't be staring in your eyes
Em D Cmaj7
I won't be staring in your eyes
Em D Cmaj7
.......In your eyes
Em D Cmaj7
.......In your eyes
Em D Cmaj7
Every year (in your eyes)
Em D Cmaj7
Every year (in your eyes)
[Outro]
