Words In The Fire

Patrick Watson


Tom: G

G
Put your words into the fire
                                   C
Watch them burn your heart's desire
                  D
Rise up in the air
     G                           C
In a cloud of silk and smoke and dust
              D
Fade into the night
                  Bm           C   D      G
It's a comforting feel with you by my side

G                         
Let me shake your honest hands
                             C
And I'll sit down beside you now
               D
Lean our heavy heads
       G                                     C
Of the weight of the things that are left unsaid 
      D
Don't worry about it now
             G       D                     C     D      G
Cause in the morning they will all just be ashes on the ground

                       C     D
So what's been on your mind
G      Bm  C     D
Eating you inside
G      Bm          C     D
Taking all of your time
        C           G
On this warm summer night
Bb                             G
Put your words down in the fire

                               G
When we were down at sandy beach
                   G           C
Old man talking in young man's words
        G               D
Tell me where you would like to be
G                               C
Tonight don't be afraid to dream
            G      D    
Lean on the fire a while
             G       D                   C     D      G
Cause in the morning it will all just be ashes on the ground

                       C     D
So what's been on your mind
G      Bm  C     D
Eating you inside
G      Bm          C     D
Taking all of your time
        C           G
On this warm summer night
Bb                             G
Put your words down in the fire
