[Verse 1]
[Gsus2]Start
a [G]fire in [Gsus2]the back room[D][Gsus2]
Burn the [G]chair where [Gsus2]your
[D]father [Gsus2]sat and s[D]tared
[Gsus2]At the television drums,
at the white light
Flicker softly as the flames
swallow [D]up the night
[Gsus2]Start a fir[G]e on the top[Gsus2] floor
[G]Burn a trail of the [Gsus2]footsteps
[D]door to door
[Gsus2]And the father at your bedside
faints [D]sleep
[G]Till [Gsus2]you sleep, walk lights out softly
[D]Three [Bm]fires burn cold [Gsus2]as her gun[D]
[Bm]Empty rounds into the [Gsus2]flames in un[D]ison
[Bm]Crest of flesh, stitched to [Gsus2]meet
Rays of [G]challenging [D]land[A]
Concede [Gsus2]and defeat[D]
[Gsus2]Start a f[G]ire in the [Gsus2]attic roo[D]m
[Gsus2]All the year'[G]s heat risin[Gsus2]g

[Bm]Three fires burn [Gsus2]cold as a gun[D]
[Bm]Empty rounds into the
[Gsus2]flames in un[D]ison
[Bm]Press to flesh, stitch to [Gsus2]meet,
raise a challenging [D]hand[A]
[Bm]Three thighs burn [Gsus2]cold as a gun[D]
[Bm]Empty rounds into the flam[Gsus2]es in motion[D]
[Bm]Press to flesh, stitch to meet[Gsus2],
