Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
G minorGm


Verse:
G minorGm                                         FF
Burning, the roads through my mind are on fire
         G+G              FF     G minorGm
For the light you shed was blinding
G minorGm                                     FF
A augmentedA rabbit, caught in your glow, I am frozen
         G+G               FF        G minorGm
In the yielding tar, sticky and golden

Instrumental:
G minorGm FF C majorC G minorGm


Chorus:
G minorGm               FF           G minorGm
I foresee this ending in a shower of flame
     G+G          C majorC    FF    G minorGm
So drink your holy water soon
          G+G        G minorGm     FF
And I'll wash my loving hands
     G minorGm
I'm through
    C majorC  FF         G minorGm
For I am of the sun
      C majorC             G minorGm
And this night is getting on
         G+G           FF         G+G
When the dawn breaks warm I'm gone


Verse:
G minorGm                                         FF
Standing, at the edge of your forest, I'm standing
  G+G              FF     G minorGm
And the milky bed reminds me of the miles I have yet to tread

G minorGm                             FF               G minorGm
And the heart-stained sheets I used to wrap around my waist
        G+G         C majorC       FF          G minorGm
Well I hope you find the peace you seek
  G+G         C majorC       FF          G minorGm
Wake me up in five, six weeks
    C majorC           G minorGm
For we exist at night
    C majorC           G minorGm
And a silent strip of light
 G+G           FF         G+G
