Words Fire by Sam Roberts
Words Fire
Capo 6
D
These words don't come easy
They spit from my lips
A Bm
But then we never had it easy
D G A D
It slipped from our fingertips
D
When we met, you laughed at me
And stole my last cigarette
A Bm
Said you wanted to share a past with me
D G A
That tomorrow's the day to forget
A
And you said
(Chorus)
D G* D
Just give me a reason to carry on
A4 D
To carry on
D G* D
Just give me a reason to carry on
A D
To carry on
D
Now I've come unhinged
I'm a door in a frame
A Bm
Well I'm never quite closed
D G A7
But I ain't open to change
D
So my knuckles are bruised
From knocking on wood
A Bm
It's a trick that I've used
D G A
Perhaps more than I should
A
And I said
Chorus
Em Bm
Cause a heart is just a heart
D G
It can break and fall apart
D G
It can bleed and stop and start
D A
Cause a heart is just a heart
Bm D A
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh
D G D
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh
D
Mix your words with fire
I'll let them burn me down
A Bm
Let them ring in the air
D G A
Like the bells of an old mining town

Verse: Gtr. 1
** Gtr. 2 can play the intro riff over the chorus chords.
Works just as well.
The Gtr.2 also trades off on playing just the basic bar chords over what Sammy (Gtr.1)
while he sings.
