The Arsonist chords by Simon Joyner

Chords with lyrics

Intro : C, F, C, FF

C majorC	       FF     C majorC
First you burned your own house down
FF	        G+G   C majorC
Then you sold the ashes to the clown
FF        G+G     C majorC    A minorAm
Who painted his brow with thunderclouds
      FF         G+G
And pulled flowers out of his mouth


C majorC		   FF      C majorC
Then you grabbed the bouquet and flew
FF		G+G		   C majorC
From everything that asked to much of you
FF		   G+G	 	  C majorC	   A minorAm
But the future gives birth to both sorrow and mirth
     FF	    	    G+G
It don't matter what you say or do

C majorC			FF  C majorC
And now, you pray for a dry canteen
      FF	  G+G		C majorC
So you can dare an empty sky to rain
     FF     G+G     C majorC   A minorAm
Then you shake your fist, you can't resist
FF		    G+G
Does anybody feel your pain?
    FF       G+G		  C majorC
You're alone and you can't go home again


FF	   G+G	          C majorC    FF
They look for you in the leaves of magazines,
C majorC		FF	C majorC		FF		G+G
In picaresque stories, in penny arcade portraits of Lauren Bacall
C majorC	   G+G	          C majorC     FF
While I look for you in the dye of canceled stamps,
C majorC		FF		C majorC		FF    G+G
In the panic of sirens, in the vanishing kite strings of airplane exhaust
FF		G+G	C majorC
But nobody can catch the arsonist
