BLOOD AND FIRE (Amy Ray)
[Key of A, but actually in B, so capo up 2 frets]
[The chords are just guides; mix in a lot of (9) chords with these.  For
 instance: in the intro, play the A for 5/8 of the measure and A(9) for
 the last 3/8; same with the G.  The D is actually D-D(9)-D-D(9).  Dsus
 is used at the end of the verses, and Asus at the end of choruses.]
A[intGro]D  D  A  G  D  D  
  AWell I have spGent nights with mDatches and knDives
Leaning Aover ledges only Gtwo flighDts upD  
Cutting my heAart, burning mGy soul, Dwith nothing left to hDold
Nothing Aleft, but blooGd and DfireD  
You have spAent nights thinking of mGe, missing my aDrms but you needed to lDeave
Leaving mAy cuts, leaving mGy burns, hoping ID'd learnD  
(Chorus)
  GBut blood and fDire are too much for these Arestless arms to hAold
And my nGights of desDire, they're calling me hAere, back to your fAold
And I'm Gcalling you, Dcalling you, from Aten thousand miles awAay
Won't you wet my fGire with your loveD, bAabeA  
AI am looking for Gsomeone who can take as Dmuch as I giveD  
AAnd'll give back as much Gas I need, y'know and tDhey still have the will Dto live
A'Cause I am intense, I am in neeGd, I am in pain, DI am in Dlove
But I feel forsaAken, you Gknow liDke the things I, DI gave away
GAnd blood and fire are too much for thesDe restAless arms to hAold
GAnd my nights of Ddesire, they're calling me Ahere, back to your Afold
GAnd I'm calling you, calDling you, from Aten thousand miles Aaway
GWon't you wet my Dfire with your Alove, woAn'y you babe hold me now

[intro]

A G D D

Well I have spent nights with matches and knives

A G D D

Leaning over ledges only two flights up

A G D D

Cutting my heart, burning my soul, with nothing left to hold

Nothing left, but blood and fire

A G D D

You have spent nights thinking of me, missing my arms but you needed to leave

Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns, hoping I'd learn

Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe

I am looking for someone who can take as much as I give

A G D D

And'll give back as much as I need, y'know and they still have the will to live

A G D D

'Cause I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love
