A Car, A Torch, A Death Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
The [F]air begins to feel a little [C]thin
As I [Am]start the car, and then I [G]begin
To [F]add the miles piled up be[C]hind me
I [Am]barely feel a smile deep in[G]side me

[Verse 2]
And I be[F]gin to envy
the headlights driv[C]ing south
I want to [Am]crack the door
so I can just [G]fall out
But [F]then I remember
when you packed [C]my car
You [Am]reached in the back
and buckled up [G]your heart
For [F]me to [C]drive a[Am]way w[G]ith
I be[F]gan to [C]un der[Am]stand [G]why God [F]died

[Verse 3]
The [F]demons sat there waiting on [C]her porch
It was a [Am]little dark
so we held a make[G]shift torch
And [F]when my car was far out of [C]sight
He [Am]crept in her room
and stayed there for the [G]night

[Chorus 1]
And then I [F]felt chills in my bones
The breath I [C]saw was not my own
I knew my [Am]skin that wrapped my frame
Wasn't [G]made to play this game
And then I [F]saw him, torch in hand
He laid it [C]out, what he had planned
And then I [Am]said I'll take the grave
Please just [G]send them all my way

[Chorus 2]
And then I [F]felt chills in my bones
The breath I [C]saw was not my own
I knew my [Am]skin that wrapped my frame
Wasn't [G]made to play this game
And then I [F]saw him, torch in hand
He laid it [C]out, what he had planned
And then I [Am]said I'll take the grave
Please just [G]send them all my way
[F][C][Am][G]
I be[F]gan to [C]un der[Am]stand [G]why God died
[F][C][Am][G]
[F][C][Am][G]

[Verse 4]
The [F]air begins to feel a little [C]thin
As we're [Am]waiting for the morning to [G]be gin
[F]But for now you told me to hold [C]this jar
And when I [Am]looked inside
I saw it held [G]your heart
For [F]me to [C]walk a[Am]way [G]with
I be[F]gan to [C]un der[Am]stand [G]why God died
[F][C]
