Bonfire by Josh Ritter
Bonfire
Capo:4th fret
Travis with a few hammer-ons here and there.
[Verse]
C
You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
C
They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
Fmaj7 C
One day I might die, until then there's too much to do
G G7 C
But I'll keep a bonfire for you.
[Verse]
C
I've seen the pretty boys that you're keeping around
C
I know how it goes, I've got a girl in town.
Fmaj7 C
And she likes me enough to do what I like to do.
G G7 C
But, I'll keep a bonfire for you.
[Chorus]
Em
Let the other lovers talk about who carries the torch
F C
Let them talk about the beauty that they carry it for
Em
Let the other lovers talk about who got what
F C
And who got burned and who got cut
[Verse]
C
I'll be in the orchard when you get tired
C
Day after day of the shouts from the choir
Fmaj7
Eating the apples and eating the peaches, too
G G7 C
And waiting by my bonfire for you.
[Bridge]
C
In the dark anybody will do for love
C
But you're the only one I want when the sun comes up
Fmaj7 C
No burning ball of fire set in the sky will do
G G7 C
Next to my bonfire for you.
[Chorus]]
Em
Let the other lovers talk about who carries the torch
F
Let them talk about the beauty that they carry it for
Em
Let the other lovers talk about who got what
F
And who got burned and who got cut
[Verse]
C
I need a little motion, need a little relief
C
I get a little lonely at the end of the week
Fmaj7 C
And I want it so bad and if you want it so bad, too
G G7 C
I'll be over here with my bonfire for you.
[Verse]
You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
One day I might die, until then there's too much to do
But I'll keep a bonfire for you.
