The Rapture

G6 G6 C Some awful rapture of noise held you captured and broke my stare C G6 You said it came from there up there on the stairs G6 C No more than a second that mystery backing your feet to climb C G6 While I stayed behind I held worry on my mind G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it G6 C You dug through the floorboards for some kind of folklore you'd heard before C G6 The newspaper was torn and the match burned bright G6 C How I couldn't fathom this loose hanging phantom your fingers wore C G6 So yellow in hue, it was nothing I knew G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it G6 C You laugh at my temper, your eyes like december so cold and blue C G6 You were smiling, too, I was jealous of you G6 C Still to this day you've been lied in your way with the pages you burn C G6 While others read theirs first, see how bright you can shine G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it G6 C Comes some long evening when these embers go leaving me bitter and cold C G6 We'll watch our bodies grow old, you'll hear me whisper "you were right" G6 C You laugh at my sorrow, so empty and hollw, I was such a fool C G6 That I knew better than you making up all those rules G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it burns too slow, you'll lose it G6 Am G6 You don't know how fire works, it dies until you feed it
