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 it's true you're gonna run away C C7 Tell me where I'll 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 I've 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 you're 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 didn't 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 you're not allowed to tell the truth and the photo Em Booth's a liar ( Em ) Em And the sharpened explanations Em Em But there's no screaming reason to enquire ( Em ) Em G C I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things they've never seen C7 Em If it smacks them in their temples
