The Stranger At My Door

(início)

Em              Am            Em
I have seen the firewatcher's daughter
Em              Am                Em
Watching fires burn from smoke to black
        C                 D          G    D/F#    Em
There's nothing she won't burn, from styrofoam to urns
   B7/F#
To someone else's ashes in a sack
( Em )
Em                  Am            Em
You can scorch the metal, you can even melt the glass
C                                Em
You can pass the time here, fire lives into the past
    C            D             G         D/F#  Em
An all-consuming flame, that refines and new begins
      B7/F#                                  B    A    G# F#   Em
It'll take your family heirlooms, but it can take your darkest sins
       C                                Em
It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die
        D                                   Em
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes
   C
Condemn their sons to hades
        Em                             Am
And gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
                   B7/F#                     Em
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
Em Am Em
Woooooooo
Em Am Em
Woooooooo
C D Em
Woooooo
    Em          Am            Em
We exercise the demons of the things we used to know
    C                                Em
The gnashing of the teeth become the remnants of our homes
   C                D          G   D/F#      Em
We think we're moving on, from materials we long
   B7                       Em
To forget we ever sold our souls to own
           Em            Am               Em
There's a chilling absolution that we're given from our birth
  C        D/F#           Em
A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth
    C                 D
But nothing scares me more
         G        D/F#  Em
Than the stranger at my door
      B7/F#                           Em
Who i fail to give shelter, time, and worth
       C                                Em
It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die
        D                                   E
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes
   C
Condemn their sons to hades
        Em                              Am
And gehenna is full of guys, alive and well
                   B7/F#                      Em
