Words & Fire
Sam Roberts
Album: Love at the End of the World
Capo 6
D
These words don't come easy
They spit from my lips
A Bm
But then we never had it easy
D G A D
It slipped from our fingertips
D
When we met, you laughed at me
And stole my last cigarette
A Bm
Said you wanted to share a past with me
D G A
That tomorrow's the day to forget
A
And you said
(Chorus)
D G* D
Just give me a reason to carry on
A4 D
To carry on
D G* D
Just give me a reason to carry on
A D
To carry on
D
Now I've come unhinged
I'm a door in a frame
A Bm
Well I'm never quite closed
D G A7
But I ain't open to change

D
So my knuckles are bruised
From knocking on wood
A Bm
It's a trick that I've used
D G A
Perhaps more than I should
A
And I said
Chorus
Em Bm
Cause a heart is just a heart
D G
It can break and fall apart
D G
It can bleed and stop and start
D A
Cause a heart is just a heart
Bm D A
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh
D G D
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh
D
Mix your words with fire
I'll let them burn me down
A Bm
Let them ring in the air
D G A
Like the bells of an old mining town
Chorus (repeat to end)
