Neko Case – Behind The House (Guitar)

   Em              G             C               Em     Em
At night I woke up crying in the lane behind the house

Em                 G               C                 Em   Em
Coals were wet and steaming by the time I figured it out

C          C          Em          Em
You didn't die in the fire

           C          C                Em   Em
It was the flood that carried you from me

        C              C           Em       Em
And the embers of your house still glowing

        B     B     B     B
Make it hard, hard, hard

   C   C   Em   Em/Em7 
To sleep

             C   C   Em   Em
It’s hard to breathe

        Em               G       C      C
There's not much room to go more crazy

  Em             G                C             Em   Em
A flaming sword above my head for all of you to see

  C               Em      C               Em
Beware my girl, beware, beware my girl, beware

         B     B     B     B
Of these memories

            C   C   Em   Em/Em7
And what is real

        C   C   Em   Em
What is real

  C                  C         Em     Em
I walk this world forever in a dream

   C           C           Em      Em
Or is this the land of the living

   C            C      Em       Em
Or is this your way to tell me

     B     B     B     B
That I

         C      C   Em   Em/Em7
Could've saved you

           C     C   Em   Em
I couldn't save you
