Tabbed and Submitted by Ryan Parmer 11-25-09 Capo 2nd Fret C/G So let me hammer this point home: D I see us all as lonely fires Bm7 that have burned alive as long as we remember. D But like all fireworks and all sunsets, Em we all burn in different ways: G You are a fast explosion, Bm7 and I am the embers. Em And though your flames are quick and mean, C/G they will not last the year, C/G but expire like a sudden falling star, Em that only nightingales had seen, Em before migrating to southern jungles. Bm7 And in this way you will come find me in December. Whoa ho ho.
C/G He said he'd like to move to Nashville D to master the guitar, G where he would live a single day Bm7 the way I live a single year. D He covered his body in mud, Em went hunting for the sun, C/G and then went swimming Bm7 in a lake of holy water. Em You are too hot for me. C/G I am too slow for you. D You are a fast explosion C/G and I am the embers. Em You need the one who slowly burns, Em and burns to stay alive. G In this way you will come find me in December Solo part but same guitar riffs C/G So let me hammer this point home: D I see us all as lonely fires Bm7 that have burned alive as long as we remember. D But like all sacrificial virgins, Em we all burn in different ways: G You are a fast explosion, Bm7 and I am the embers. Em And though your flames are quick and mean, C/G they will not last the year, C/G but expire like a sudden shooting star, Em that only nightingales had seen, Em before transforming into bluebirds. G
