Billy Strings – The Fire On My Tongue (Guitar)

A
There ain't enough corn mash

A
In this whole sorry town

   D
To wash off or burn out

                    A
The way it all went down

A
But that cork squeaks so loud

A
When it's sneaking its way out

     C                                  A
That I'm afraid to death she's going to hear

        D
Now the fire on my tongue

       A
Is for those who die young

        C                          A
And the weariness of we who stay behind

          A      G        A    D
There's a poison sickness in my heart

    C                 E           A
And I don't trust the ashes of my mind

A
I've got too many sorrows

A
And far too little time

   D
To sit and drown out these memories

                A
Under Tennessee rye

A
But the salt on the rim

A
Has me thinking about him

       C                                     A
And my shaking hands can't hold back no morе tears

        D
Now the fire on my tongue

       A
Is for those who die young

        C                          A
And the weariness of we who stay behind

          A      G        A    D
There's a poison sickness in my heart

    C                 E           A
And I don't trust the ashes of my mind

A
Whispering my shame

A
To the bottom of my glass

      D
Won't get me through the dawn

                     A
Or make the darkness pass

A
So I'll hold out tonight

A
And clench this bottle tight

    C                              A
And drink about the light I saw in you

        D
Now the fire on my tongue

       A
Is for those who die young

        C                          A
And the weariness of we who stay behind

                 G        A     D
There's a poison sickness in my heart

D
It's tearing me apart

    C       D         E           A
And I don't trust the ashes of my mind
