Tom: Em
Em D
Hallelujah!
C Am Em
The young king sings a song for the lover, the leaver, the lonely alike
Em D C Am Em
Young love waits; if I can't, then I'll meet you at the gate of Saint Peter when the fever takes my mind
D C Am Em
My God she came singing my name, sounded like rain on the mountain where I burn alive
D C Am
Young flame burn soft as a candle lit between our two hearts just beats apart in the dark
[Chorus 1]
Em G C Am
Spent my summer riding high (high) on the whiplash
Head back
Em
Blowing through the leaves
G C
Growing up a preacher was all you ever dreamed
[Chorus 2]
Em G
I got the holy roll
C
I got the holy roll
Am
I felt the fever grip when I needed it close (and)
Em G
I'm at the Fever Pitch
C
Not quite but nearing it
Am Em
Can't feed the fever yet I'm saving up my daily measurement
[Verse 2]
Em G
I'm at the grocery store
I'm buying eggs and toast
C Am
I'm looking at you and not where I walk, 'bout broke my nose facing doors
Em G
Don't let the fever get you
Got got already
C Am
Lost my soul in the seventh heaven making out on aisle eleven
[Chorus 1]
Em G C
Spent my summer riding high (high) on the whiplash
Am
Head back
Em
Blowing through the leaves
G C
Growing up a preacher was always just a dream
Em G
All you ever needed were lines you could believe
C
Sing them to me sweetly
Am
Only just a dream
[Verse 3: Rapping]
Em
Well I know you can't walk
G
With them heels in the dark
C
Kick 'em off
Let's talk
Am
Let me get to know you
Em
Well I don't know nothin'
G
But I'm quick pickin' up and
C Am
I think I could get you in a minute or two
Em
Yeah if I could get a minute
G
Four, five at the limit
C
I think I might make you
Am
Smile after dinner
Em
Kick me under the table
G
I think that's my in
C
And I think I came for that
Am
What comes with it?
Am
Let it simmer
Am
Let it simmer
Em
Simmer down please
[Chorus 2]
Em
I got the holy roll
G
I got the holy roll
C Am
I felt the fever grip me when I needed it most (thank the lord)
Em
I'm at the Fever Pitch now
G
I'm at the Fever Pitch
C
Not quite but nearly there
Am
I mean it man
