CAPO ON 2ND FRET

G

G                          C
Come on in my weary friend
Am                                G
The welcome here is endless
G                                           C
These fears of yours, like painted whores
          Am                                  D
They will not stay the night
  C               D           C                           D
If all your life you've done what's right
           C                 Am         
Don't say you felt
              G
Obliged

G                                           C
Come along, here's your timid tongue
        Am                      G
Too shy to tell your stories
G                                C
This pain in you so far removed
           Am                                  D
From anything you've known
       C                D        C                    D    
So I won't condone another moan
                   C               Am
Not when everything
          G
Is fine

F

                      C                           G         F
So when in drought learn to dance
                        C                       G         C 
And pray the dead would return
                                                G
And dream smoke without fire
        F                          C                             G
Just come see me again when it burns

            C          
Somewhere along the way
           G
Well, I was lead astray
           Am 
By a wolf in Noah's clothing
D
It was a brilliant disguise
          Am                          Bm
And I forgot that life existed
                          C                                   D
I thought it was just some kind of game
                                       C                         Bm
And that's what brings me to your doorstep
               Am                                    Am
Though I don't know why I came
           G
Today

F

                  C                      G     F
Standing still in the dust
             C                      G   C
Giving up on the rain
                                            G        F
And as for smoke without fire
                            C                    G
I've already laid in the flame

F G F G

F                                             G
I've already laid in the flame
F                                              G
Brother, be afraid of the flames
                           F              G
Well I ain't afraid of the flames
