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