Verse:
Am Dm Am
You can scorch the metal, you can even melt the glass.
F Am
You can pass the time here, fire lives into the past
G C G/B Am
An all-consuming flame, that refines and new begins
E Am
It'll take your family heirlooms, but it can take your darkest sins
F Am
It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die
G Am
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes
G F
Condemn their sons to Hades
C G/B Dm
And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
E Am
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
Bridge:
Am Dm Am
Woooooooo
Am Dm Am
Woooooooo
F G Am
Woooooo
Verse:
Am Dm Am
We exercise the demons of the things we used to know
F Em
The gnashing of the teeth become the remnants of our homes
G C G/B Am
We think we're moving on, from materials we long
E Am
To forget we ever sold our souls to own
Am Dm Am
There's a chilling absolution that we're given from our birth
F Am
A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth
G
But nothing scares me more
C G/B Am
Than the stranger at my door
E Am
Who I fail to give shelter, time, and worth
F Am
It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die
G Am
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes
F
Condemn their sons to Hades
C G/B Am Dm
And Gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
E Am
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
