looking at life through the eyes of a tired hub

More wood for the fires, loud neighbors

Flashlight reveries caught in the headlights of a truck

I shone life into the man's hearts

Nice! It's much easier to swtich chords like this than using the Capo on the first fret and playing Bm D Ab G, which is what I've been doing. However, I think that the ending is a bit odd. It sounds better (to me, at least) to do Am C Am7 C, so just basically holding the C chord shape and pulling off the 3rd fret on the A string and hitting it open, then going back to C.
