Forest Fire White Walls

F#m F#m Picture me standing in a forest fire F#m Counting every burning branch D C# Picture me sifting ashes through my hands F#m A Picture me sitting in a clearing now my head between my hands D C# You told me that the forest, wouldn't burn A C#m D C# Why did I wait for so long, to see the silence in your song A C#m D C# And why did I hold out my hands, as if the rain would understand F#m You said you made your money when the markets crashed C#m You covered yourself in gold D C# You said you'd only done what you'd been told F#m You said to head to the forest when the fallout starts C#m You'd meet me there in time D C# You promised me the forest wouldn't burn D A D C# Why did I wait for so long, to see the silence in your song D A D C# And why did I hold out my hands, as if the rain would understand F#m I'm gonna take a branch from the black tree C#m I'll Scratch a circle when I'm standing D I'l draw a line to the dry grass C# And plant a ghost gum to remind us F#m I'll Trace my way through the suburbs A And move in like a dry wind with no words D I'll take a fist full of charcoal C# And draw my name on your white walls F#m A D C# Why did I wait F#m They'll ring the bells in the town square A We're gonna build a fire there D We'll fill it with our old plans C# We'll let them burn, burn, burn D F#m Hearing the bells in the town square A We're gonna build a fire there D C# F#m A D We'll fill it with our old plans let them burn, burn, burn C# F#m Let them burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
