The Arsonist
guitar chords lyrics
He plays F - 033211
Intro : C, F, C, F
C F C
First you burned your own house down
F G C
Then you sold the ashes to the clown
F G C Am
Who painted his brow with thunderclouds
F G
And pulled flowers out of his mouth
C F C
Then you grabbed the bouquet and flew
F G C
From everything that asked to much of you
F G C Am
But the future gives birth to both sorrow and mirth
F G
It don't matter what you say or do
C F C
And now, you pray for a dry canteen
F G C
So you can dare an empty sky to rain
F G C Am
Then you shake your fist, you can't resist
F G
Does anybody feel your pain?
F G C
You're alone and you can't go home again
F G C F
They look for you in the leaves of magazines,
C F C F G
In picaresque stories, in penny arcade portraits of Lauren Bacall
C G C F
While I look for you in the dye of canceled stamps,
C F C F G
In the panic of sirens, in the vanishing kite strings of airplane exhaust
F G C
But nobody can catch the arsonist
Enjoy.
