Josh Ritter – Bonfire (Guitar)

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.

     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.

        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

     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.

       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.

       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

  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.
