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  Em  C )

     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 you're splashing in my eyelids
    Am               Em       Am
As the concentration continually breaks
        Em                 Am
I did request the mark you cast
         Em
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
There's a sharpened explanation
    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'd never see
C7                         Em
If it smacked them in their temples
