Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Left, right, left, right
And left, right, left, [F]right[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[F][G][Am]
[F][G][Dm][F][G][Am][F]
[G][C]

[Verse 2]
[F]Weary from the [G]wars
[Am]I stumble into fortune
Strike a [F]deal with the [G]witch
And cut [Dm]off her head

[Verse 3]
With [F]pockets full of [G]gold
I [Am]journey into town
Trade [F]my stuffed boots
For [G]bribes [C]and burberry

[Verse 4]
Became the [F]talk of the [G]town
Though the [Am]heart remained mute
As I [F]fed [G]the poor
With the [Dm]king's cutlery

[Verse 5]
Locked in [F]towers behind [G]walls
[Am]Comes some divination
And [F]true love [G]was promised [C]to me

[Verse 6]
[Am]On a
[F]Black [Am]dog
Black [F]burning [Am]eyes
Come [F]carry you [Dm]here [Esus4]to my roo[E]m
[Am]Dark to one [F]spar[Am]k
and I [F]have your [Am]heart
But as [F]quick as you [Dm]come
You're always [Esus4]gone so s[E]oon
[F]Soon, [G]soon, [Am]soon
Gone [F]so soon, [G]soon, [Dm]soon
Gone [F]so soon, [G]soon, [Am]soon[F]
Always [G]gone so soon
[C]

[Verse 7]
[F]And now [G]I live alone
[Am]In this [A]dirty old [Am]attic
[F]And my friends have [G]no strength
To [Dm]climb up the stairs

[Verse 8]
So in the [F]dark [G](dark) I spark (spark)
This [Am]old box of tinder
And [F]your love is [G]ferried to [C]here

[Verse 9]
[Am]On a
[F]Black dog
[Am]Black [F]burning [Am]eyes
Come [F]carry you [Dm]here [E]to my room
[Am]Dark to one [F]spar[Am]k
And I [F]have your [Am]heart
But as [F]quick as you [Dm]come
You're always [E]gone so [F]soon
[G]Soon, [Am]soon
Gone [F]so soon, [G]soon, [Dm]soon
Gone [F]so soon, [G]soon, [Am]soon[F]
Always [G]gone so soon, so soon
[C]

[Verse 10]
Why does no [Am]flame here [F]last for long?
[Dm]Oh no,[Esus4]
no [E]spark [Am]rides dark [F]for [Dm]long
[Em]Oh no, a t[F]housand ki[G]sses are no
[Am]judas [C]kicking in to stop [F]me
[G]From try[Am]ing [C]to start a[F] fire[G][Am]
[C]Start the [F]fire[G][Am]
Start [C]the fire, [F]fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire

[Outro 1]
Deep down in me
[F][C]
