Chords

[Intro] E E7 Amaj7 Aadd6 x3 [Verse 1]
B                 B7
Salad days aren't balanced

Emaj7         E
Laughter from below

Emaj7                E    Faug
As the conversations flow

C/E          Fsus2
And the bark that I traced

C/E             Fsus2
For to reach my final place

Cdim      C#dim
Estranges me
[Chorus]
B
Happily

G#m
There's no use fearing what you said

E
In a tree

F#
It's all just the fuel on fire

B
The fire beneath

G#m
In time I'll waste you anyway

E            F#dim
Bites at me
B B7 Emaj7 Eadd6 x2 [Verse 2]
B                       B7
Quail thighs grilled on both sides

Emaj7                       E
There's a young man holding tongs

Emaj7              E     Faug
As the party sings along

C/E         Fsus2
To the song that I wrote

C/E               Fsus2  Fdim
Of a pharaoh on a boat
F#dim Gdim C#m/G# G# [Bridge]
G#m
But between the howls lie whispers

G
They hum like faint transistors

F#sus4
And conspire to light the cinders

G#m               G
Burn the tree for all to witness

F#
Curtains for a Salem sister
[Transition]
A
Happily, we heard you on the radio

G#m
Up a tree, you're trapped right above the pyre

G
As the fire beneath, just pray the rain will come to pass

B/F#
Creeps up to me
[Chorus]
B
Oh, as the leaves

G#m
There's no use fearing what you said

E
Bend and breathe

F#
It's all just the fuel on fire

E
Ain't it plain to see

G#m                     E
In time, I'll waste you anyway

         F#
Oh yeah, that's what summer is for
B B7 Emaj7 Eadd6 x4
