I have seen the firewatcher’s daughter.

Watching fires burn from smoke to black.

     FF          G+G      C majorC   G/BG/B    A minorAm
There's nothing she won't burn, from Styrofoam to urns.

  E MajorE              A minorAm
To someone else's ashes in a sack... (..oh god i love her)


Instrumental:

Verse:
 A minorAm           DmDm        A minorAm
You can scorch the metal, you can even melt the glass.

 FF                 A minorAm
You can pass the time here, fire lives into the past

   G+G              C majorC      G/BG/B   A minorAm
An all-consuming flame, that refines and new begins

    E MajorE                              A minorAm
It'll take your family heirlooms, but it can take your darkest sins

It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die

     G+G                   A minorAm
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes

 G+G   FF
Condemn their sons to Hades

     C majorC     G/BG/B            DmDm
And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well

          E MajorE                A minorAm
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter


Bridge:
 A minorAm  DmDm  A minorAm
Woooooooo

Woooooooo

 FF  G+G  A minorAm
Woooooo

   A minorAm       DmDm        A minorAm
We exercise the demons of the things we used to know

   FF                 E minorEm
The gnashing of the teeth become the remnants of our homes

  G+G                 C majorC    G/BG/B    A minorAm
We think we're moving on, from materials we long

  E MajorE            A minorAm
To forget we ever sold our souls to own

      A minorAm        DmDm         A minorAm
There's a chilling absolution that we're given from our birth

  FF             A minorAm
A augmentedA powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth

   G+G
But nothing scares me more

     C majorC     G/BG/B     A minorAm
Than the stranger at my door

    E MajorE               A minorAm
Who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth

    FF                 A minorAm
It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die

     G+G                   A minorAm
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes

   FF
Condemn their sons to Hades

     C majorC      G/BG/B     A minorAm        DmDm
And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well

          E MajorE            A minorAm
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
