Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Am][C][Am][C][Am]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Time's not [G]the villain,
[Am]coming up behind[G] you is a marigold sun[Am]
Love if you're will[G]ing,
take a little more [Am]time
I smell [G]fire, [C]it's

[Verse 2]
[Am]coming from the flames
That are [G]dancing on my [Am]wings
I'm a bird [G]on a wire killing [Am]time[G][C]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Fever's got me shaking,
[D]it rises [Am]up like a road to meet [C]me
Fever[Em]'s got me quaking
[D]like San Andreas [Am]Fault
Just [Em]put a cloth to my b[D]row,
I'll [Am]soar like a phoenix from the ashes
[C]Put a pre[Em]tty blanket down,
[D]I'm ready now

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G]
[Em][D][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Looking for forgiveness,
looking in every cupboard in every room
I'm bearing witness to the passing time

[Verse 5]
[Gm]But the clock is t[C]icking l[Gm]ike an old m[G]an
[C]singing at the top of his [Gm]lungs
And the light is [C]flickering,
we're [Am]running out[G]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Fever's got me shaking,
[D]it rises up [Am]like a road to meet me
[C]Fever[Em]'s got me quaking
[D]like San Andreas [Am]Fault
Just [Em]put a cloth to my b[D]row,
I'll soar [Am]like a phoenix from [C]the ashes
Put a [Em]pretty blanket [D]down, I'm ready

[Interlude 2]
now
[Am][G]
[C][G][C]
[D]
[C]Everybody's looking for somebody

[Verse 7]
[C]
to blame
[Bb]The stages of sadness
how many can you name?
I [F]stopped at anger, never felt the [G]same[Am]

[Verse 8]
[C]They say it'll fade my scars,
my [Bb]tears will dry
I'll lie under the [F]stars again,
not [Am]wondering where you are
Where you are
[G][Em]

[Verse 9]
Fever's got me shaking,
[D]it rises up [Am]like a road to meet me[C]
[Em]Fever's got me quaking
[D]like San Andreas [Am]Fault
Just [Em]put a cloth to my b[D]row,
[Am]I'll soar like a phoenix [C]from the ashes
Put a [Em]pretty blanket down,
[D]I'm ready now[Am]
I'm ready [G]now, I'm ready now
[C][D]
