Tabbed and Submitted by Ryan Parmer 11-25-09 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.
