🎸 Verse 1:

Bm G




Bm
Our love was quite the whirlwind
G
Married by the time I was nineteen
A               G
Living in a prefab out in Cremorne
Bm
The force of a fire front was raging in you
G

We fucked like we fought, ripped the flesh from the sinew
A              G
No greater fever between any two

🎸 Chorus:

And you’d say
A               G
darling, sometimes I feel dangerous

A                    G
Darkness stretching, no light nowhere, dangerous


🎸 Verse 2:
Bm
You quit the navy, got your union tatts
G
And with your land legs your great thirst came back
A                       G
While your children grew up quiet in another room
Bm
You packed it in when I packed up the kids
G
Said you were terrified of all those things I told you that you did
A                           G
Said you didn’t understand the rage that could devour you

🎸 Chorus:

And you said
A               G
darling, sometimes I feel dangerous
A                     G
Darkness waiting, no light nowhere, dangerous
A
When there’s fighting in the factions
G
There’s no decisions, just a set of reactions

Bm A Bm G

🎸 Verse 3:
A
We drove the camel pelt country down the shimmering Hume
G
To where your aunts rode trams in wisteria hue
A                         G
And you set about hosing the tiles in your sticky soul
A
You weeded out those rotten roots from down in the marrow
G
Taught the union boys the power in the straight and the narrow
A                         G
To them you were a father, a healer, a tower, a force

🎸 Chorus:

And you said
A               G
darling, sometimes I feel dangerous
A                   G
Darkness waiting, no light nowhere, dangerous
A
When there’s fighting in the factions
G
There’s no decisions, just a set of reactions

🎸 Verse 4:
Bm
Your own father you couldn’t talk to easily
        G                         A
To say, there’s something in you, and I’m terrified it might be in me
              G
So you grew up pushing it away

Bm
But I’m so proud of you, and my love is a monster
G
Ain’t luck that got you through, you earned everything that belongs to ya
A                            G
Our kids will come ‘round, they gotta find out for themselves

🎸 Chorus:
That darling the

A               G
Truth is sometimes it’s dangerous
A                     G
Darkness stretches, no light nowhere, dangerous
               A                  G
But there are floodlights hiding, waiting for us to do the deciding

     A               D          Bm       G
There is hope under the heavy, high tightrope we’re all walking over our brevity

A           D     Bm             G
There is bounty in the burden, a freedom in never being certain

A D
