Hands Like Houses – A Fire On A Hill (Ukulele)

Am                                                  Em
It starts with a spark a breath and a moment of still

                                 Dm
A flicker a glow as the oxygen spills through a delta of spindles and stone

E
Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke

Am                                                  Em
And there a gift ignites a cursive thought takes flight

Dm                                                    E
Give her the breather's kiss and watch her spirit lift

                                                   F
She'll take over the stage and she'll own the night

                          Am           G                  F
Learning how to make a name from the words we can't keep in

          C                   Am             G
Learning how to strike a flame and draw hellfire from nothing

C                       Am            Em
I don't know where to begin to make these words take shape

C                 Am                  F          C
How to nurture a flame and raise it to a blaze

                        Am         Em        C
That on the clearest night can be seen forever

                        Am       F         C
I don't know where to begin begin again

Am                                                   Em
It's not enough cause outside the night is still cold

                                    Dm
The fog is collected on the sill

                                          E
Feed the house to the fire to let out the light

                                                    Am
Consumed and inspired burned magnesium white

                      Em                                    Dm
Take the curtains the carpet to fuel the insatiable fire inside

                                                          E
We'll set fire to a hill so intense that it will be the brightest star

                            F
on this side of the sky

                           Am          G                  F
Learning how to make a name from the words we can't keep in

          C                  Am             G
Learning how to strike a flame and draw hellfire from nothing

C                        Am             Em
I don't know where to begin to make these words take shape

C                  Am                F          C
How to nurture a flame and raise it to a blaze

                         Am           Em         C
That on the clearest night can be seen forever

                       Am       F           C
I don't know where to begin begin again

C
I don't know where to begin to make these words take shape

Am
How to nurture a flame and raise it to a blaze

Em
That on the clearest night can be seen forever

F
I don't know where to begin begin again
