[Verse 1]
C G
Red lava flows so slowly
F C G
There is no way to damp it down
C G
and as my anger grows, I notice
F C G
it petrifies the bystander
[Bridge]
Em F C
how I pitied you as the dull one was layering
Em F C G
how I hoped the pressure ridge would be the end
[Verse 2]
C G
and I begged you to stand by me
F C
even though the burn was slow
G
I knew it would consume you
F C
and I watched you fight for your life
G
as the magma killed our love
F C
and I watched the sadness in your eyes
G
as lava slowly covered you
[Bridge]
C G
and afterwards you were cold
F C
colorless and hard
F C
you were burned too badly to recover
G C
as I so innocently hovered
[Solo]
|(C) | G | F C | G |
[Chorus]
C G
and I didn't need to hurt you
F
red lava flows
Fm
red lava flows
C G
I didn't need to hurt you
Dm7 F
red lava flows
Dm7 F
red lava flows
Dm7 F C Bb F C
red lava flows so slow
