Capo 2nd Fret E5 C5 So let me hammer this point home: E5 D5 I see us all as lonely fires C5 G5 D5 B5 that have burned alive as long as we remember. E5 D5 But like all fireworks and all sunsets, C5 E5 we all burn in different ways: C5 G5 You are a fast explosion, B5 and I am the embers. C5 E5 And though your flames are quick and mean, D5 C5 they will not last the year, G5 D5 C5 but expire like a sudden falling star, C5 E5 that only nightingales had seen, C5 E5 before migrating to southern jungles. C5 D5 G5 B5 And in this way you will come find me in December. Whoa ho ho. E5 C5 He said he'd like to move to Nashville E5 D5 to master the guitar, C5 G5 where he would live a single day D5 B5 the way I live a single year. E5 D5 He covered his body in mud, C5 E5 went hunting for the sun, C5 and then went swimming G5 B5 in a lake of holy water. C5 E5 You are too hot for me. D5 C5 I am too slow for you. G5 D5 You are a fast explosion C5 and I am the embers. C5 E5 You need the one who slowly burns, C5 E5 and burns to stay alive. C5 D5 G5 In this way you will come find me in December Solo part but same guitar riffs E5 C5 So let me hammer this point home: E5 D5 I see us all as lonely fires C5 G5 D5 B5 that have burned alive as long as we remember. E5 D5 But like all sacrificial virgins, C5 E5 we all burn in different ways: C5 G5 You are a fast explosion, B5 and I am the embers. C5 E5 And though your flames are quick and mean, D5 C5 they will not last the year, G5 D5 C5 but expire like a sudden shooting star, C5 E5 that only nightingales had seen, C5 E5 before transforming into bluebirds. C5 D5 G5 And in this way you will come find me in December.
