Capo: 1st fret

Verse 1:

C
When the fever passes
At the bottom of
The cotton in the background
In the background of the flood

F               Dm                      C
Dry among the, dry among the wet and the rotten

C
When the fever passes
Next to the brimming well
The worst is more than over
And anyone can tell

F
When the fever passes
Dm                         C
And we're all back in our nests

D                                     F               C
We'll be extravagant hosts instead of the imposing guests

CHORUS:

D                          F                       C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard

C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us

D                          F                        C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard

C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us

D         F      C
Can care all the time

Verse 2:

C
When the fever passes
When we don't know what to do
We'll buy twice as many comforts
Just like we used to do

F
When the fever passes
Dm              C 
When the fever clears
               D                                  F             C
Oh we'll look back on these quietly like they're someone else's years

CHORUS:

D                          F                        C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard

C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us

D                          F                       C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard

C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us

D         F      C
Can care all the time


Verse 3:

C
When the fever passes
At the bottom of
The cotton in the background
In the background of the flood

F               Dm                      C
Dry among the, dry among the wet and the rotten

C
When the fever passes
Next to the brimming well
The worst is more than over
And anyone can tell

F
When the fever passes
Dm                         C
And we're all back in our nests

         D                                 F          C
We'll be extravagant hosts instead of the imposing guests
