[Verse]
EmI have seen the Amfirewatcher’s Emdaughter.
Emwatching fires bAmurn from smoke to Emblack.
there's Cnothing she won't Dburn, from GStyroD/F#foam to Emurns.
to B7/F#someone else's ashes in a sack... (..oh god i love her)
[Instrumental]
Em
[Verse]
EmYou can scorch the mAmetal, you can Emeven melt the glass.
CYou can pass the time here, fire Emlives into the past
An aCll-consuming Dflame, that reGfines and D/F#new beEmgins
It'll B7/F#take your family heirlooms, but it can Btake Ayour GdarF#kest Emsins
It's a Cgood ol' bedtime story, give you Emnightmares 'til you die
And the Dones that love to tell it, hide the Emmischief in their eyes
ConCdemn their sons to Hades
And GeheEmnna is full of guys, alive and Amwell
But there ain't no B7/F#hell for a firewatcher's dEmaughter
[Bridge]
EmwooAmoooEmooo
EmwooAmoooEmooo
CwoDooEmooo
[Verse]
We eEmxercise the Amdemons of the Emthings we used to know
The Cgnashing of the teeth become the Emremnants of our homes
We Cthink we're movinDg on, from GmateD/F#rials we lEmong
To B7forget we ever sold our sEmouls to own
There's a cEmhilling absoluAmtion that we're gEmiven from our birth
A Cpowerful D/F#delusion and a Emplague upon the earth
But Cnothing scares me Dmore
Than the Gstranger D/F#at my Emdoor
Who I B7/F#fail to give shelter, time, and Emworth
It's a Cgood ol' bedtime story, give you Emnightmares 'til you die
And the Dones that love to tell it, hide the Emmischief in their eyes
ConCdemn their sons to Hades
And GeheEmnna is full of guys, alive and wAmell
But there ain't no B7/F#hell for a firewatcher's daEmughter
