Em (022000@1)                        C/GSo (3x555x@1)let me hammer this point home:
         Em (022000@1)           DI (xx0232@1)see us all as lonely fires
           C/G (3x555x@1)              G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1) Bm7that (x20202@1)have burned alive as long as we remember.

             Em (022000@1)              DBut (xx0232@1)like all fireworks and all sunsets,
       C/G (3x555x@1)             Emwe (022000@1)all burn in different ways:
    C/G (3x555x@1)          GYou (320003@1)are a fast explosion,
             Bm7and (x20202@1)I am the embers.

                C/G (3x555x@1)                EmAnd (022000@1)though your flames are quick and mean,
     D (xx0232@1)               C/Gthey (3x555x@1)will not last the year,
      G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)            C/Gbut (3x555x@1)expire like a sudden falling star,
           C/G (3x555x@1)           Emthat (022000@1)only nightingales had seen,
         C/G (3x555x@1)                Embefore (022000@1)migrating to southern jungles.
            C/G (3x555x@1)             D (xx0232@1)         G (320003@1)              Bm7And (x20202@1)in this way you will come find me in December. Whoa ho ho.

              Em (022000@1)            C/GHe (3x555x@1)said he'd like to move to Nashville
   Em (022000@1)        Dto (xx0232@1)master the guitar,
                C/G (3x555x@1)        Gwhere (320003@1)he would live a single day
          D (xx0232@1)           Bm7the (x20202@1)way I live a single year.

    Em (022000@1)               DHe (xx0232@1)covered his body in mud,
     C/G (3x555x@1)           Emwent (022000@1)hunting for the sun,
               C/Gand (3x555x@1)then went swimming
      G (320003@1)         Bm7in (x20202@1)a lake of holy water.

    C/G (3x555x@1)           EmYou (022000@1)are too hot for me.
  D (xx0232@1)             C/GI (3x555x@1)am too slow for you.
    G (320003@1)          DYou (xx0232@1)are a fast explosion
             C/Gand (3x555x@1)I am the embers.
             C/G (3x555x@1)          EmYou (022000@1)need the one who slowly burns,
    C/G (3x555x@1)         Emand (022000@1)burns to stay alive.
        C/G (3x555x@1)             D (xx0232@1)          GIn (320003@1)this way you will come find me in December

             Em (022000@1)         DBut (xx0232@1)like all sacrificial virgins,
       C/G (3x555x@1)             Emwe (022000@1)all burn in different ways:
    C/G (3x555x@1)          GYou (320003@1)are a fast explosion,
              Bm7and (x20202@1)I am the embers.
 
                C/G (3x555x@1)                EmAnd (022000@1)though your flames are quick and mean,

          C/G (3x555x@1)            Emthat (022000@1)only nightingales had seen,
            C/G (3x555x@1)         Embefore (022000@1)transforming into bluebirds.
            C/G (3x555x@1)              D (xx0232@1)          GAnd (320003@1)in this way you will come find me in December.
