Capo 8
CThese words don't come easy
They spit from my lips
But then we Gnever had it Ameasy
It sClipped from our FfingertGipsC  
CWhen we met, you laughed at me
And stole my last cigarette
Said you Gwanted to share a Ampast with me
That Ctomorrow's the Fday to Gforget
GAnd you said
(Chorus)
CJust give me a reason to Fcarry Con
To G4carry Con
CJust give me a reason to Fcarry Con
To Gcarry Con
CNow I've come unhinged
I'm a door in a frame
Well I'm Gnever quite Amclosed
But I ain't Copen to FchangeG7  
CSo my knuckles are bruised
From knocking on wood
It's a Gtrick that I've Amused
Perhaps Cmore than I FshouldG  
GAnd I said
Chorus
Cause a Dmheart is just a Amheart
It can Cbreak and fall Fapart
It can Cbleed and stop and Fstart
Cause a Cheart is just a Gheart
AmOoooh....COoooh....GOoooh
COoooh....FOoooh....COoooh
CMix your words with fire
I'll let them burn me down
Let them Gring in the Amair
Like the Cbells of an Fold mining Gtown

Words & Fire

Sam Roberts

Album: Love at the End of the World

Capo 8

These words don't come easy

They spit from my lips

G Am

But then we never had it easy

C F G C

It slipped from our fingertips

When we met, you laughed at me

And stole my last cigarette

G Am

Said you wanted to share a past with me

C F G

That tomorrow's the day to forget

And you said

(Chorus)

C F C

Just give me a reason to carry on

G4 C

To carry on

C F C

Just give me a reason to carry on

G C

To carry on

Now I've come unhinged

I'm a door in a frame

G Am

Well I'm never quite closed

C F G7

But I ain't open to change

So my knuckles are bruised

From knocking on wood

G Am

It's a trick that I've used

C F G

Perhaps more than I should

And I said

Chorus

Dm Am

Cause a heart is just a heart

C F

It can break and fall apart

C F

It can bleed and stop and start

C G

Cause a heart is just a heart

Am C G

Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh

C F C

Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh

Mix your words with fire

I'll let them burn me down

G Am

Let them ring in the air

C F G

Like the bells of an old mining town

Chorus (repeat to end)
