[Intro]
G C D X2
[Verse 1]
G
I read a story about a coal fire
C
Burned for eighty miles underground,
D
under rivers and across the state line,
G
without a flame, without a sound.
G
It burned a building and some fenceposts
C
when it come up from the dirt into the sky.
D
And when they interviewed the townfolks,
G
they said that hell was on the rise.
[Chorus]
C G
Now I'm looking out a window, while you're sleeping.
C G
I'm scared out of my mind, oh no, I feel that fire creeping.
D C G
Everywhere I go always burns down;
D C G
everyone I love is trying to figure me out;
D C C G
and everything I knew I buried underground. Underground
[Interlude]
G C D
[Verse 2]
G
I saw a picture of a picture
C
that reminded me of myself.
D
Like a coal fire burning underground:
G
from up above it's hard to tell.
G
And you said that I could stay here
C
open my chest for just you to see
D
all these acres of quiet fire
G
that are burning down in me.
[Chorus]
C G
Now I'm looking out a window while you're sleeping.
C G
I'm scared out of my mind, oh no, I feel that fire creeping.
D C G
Everywhere I go always burns down;
D C G
everyone I love is trying to figure me out;
D C C G
everything I knew is on fire underground, underground.
[Interlude]
G C D
[Outro]
G
I read a story about a coal fire
C
Burned for eighty miles underground,
D
under rivers and across the state line,
C
without a flame, without a sound.
G
without a flame without a sound.
