When My Fever Breaks chords by John Moreland

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
E
Star-crossed eyes and cross-eyed stars
E                      A
No use hiding age old scars
B7
Well, you're not here, and I'can't?be still
B7                               A   E
I don't?think l'll sleep until I see?you


Verse 2:
E
The strongest will, the softest touch
E                           A
I never thought l'd have so much
B7
You call me out and rein me in
B7                             A   E
Riding through the rain again tonight

Chorus:
A                E
Hold my hand and ease my aches
E                        A
Wake me up when my fever breaks
C#m                      F#
I'm laying down my soul, the answers that I can't know
A                                        B7
And the pain I thought I never would let go of


Verse 3:
E
Well, these days we got hell to pay
E                         A
And we got rigid roles to play
B7
And driving 'round this neighborhood
B7                           A    E
Just ain't doing me no good this time


Verse 4:
N.C.
But darlin' when you reach for me
N.C.                      A
It feels just like infinity
B7
Honey help me break this curse
B7                      A     E
Howling at the universe again


Chorus:
A                E
Hold my hand and ease my aches
E                        A
Wake me up when my fever breaks
C#m                      F#
I'm laying down my soul, the answers that I can't know
A                                        B7
And the pain I thought I never would let go of
