Controlled Burn

E
Burn

E
Left me out, a hound ungroomed with one neigh moon
  Bm              A              E
I was consumed, I howled to it
E
Oh I was loud, in drinking rooms and dim saloons
     Bm             A                  E
When I found you, I found you wounded
    Db            D            A  E
But you wore your heart like a la-dy
    Db         D             F#m
And I lit your smokes like a man

E
Burn

E
Gathered round, when eyes adjusted, in fire we trusted
Bm               A                          E
Tend to a bed of kindle, I stoked it on and on
E
When dry wind roused our hearts unready, it painted red with
Bm                  A                           E
orange hands, and a brush more hot than what we want
Bm                 A                              E
All around we just danced, so drunk upon the lawn
    Db             D          A  E
And you danced the steps of a la-dy
    Db         D           F#m
And I tried to lead like a man
        B          Dbm       D
And the bells only ring in emergencies
F#m                           A                     E
There's hazard and heat to discern, in a controlled burn

E
When we were found, our molars made the sorry case
Bm          A          E
[no lyric]
Db              D    F#m   A       E
"Where goes our boy? Where goes our girl?"
Db          D        F#m  A     E
Our fathers cried, I ne— ver heard
        B          Dbm       D
And the bells only ring in emergencies
F#m                           A
There's hazard and heat to discern,
F#m                                                 A
It warms and it dances it speaks out of turn and it runs
           E
