Blood and Fire
==============
Song performed solo by Amy Ray. Key of B (I think=)..)
The chords in the verses are the same as in the intro,
I only put the root chords in the verses but it's supposed
to be played like the intro. I recommend playing along
with the song so that you understand the chord changes and
relate them to how she sings and such. Here are the chords used
in the song...
A= x02220
Asus2= x02200
Asus4= x02230
G= 320003 (or 320033 if you prefer)
Gsus2= 320203
D= xx0232
Dsus2= xx0230
(N.C. means no chord)

Intro:
A Asus2 G Gsus2 D Dsus2 D Dsus2 x2
Verse: [same as intro]
A G D
Well I have spent nights with matches and knives
A G D
Leaning over ledges only two flights up
A G D
Cutting my heart, burning my soul, with nothing left to hold
A G D
Nothing left, but blood and fire
D A G D
You have spent nights thinking of me, missing my arms but you needed to leave
A G D
Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns, hoping I'd learn
