Yesterdays Fire

• B

This is really more of the bass guitar, but it's fun to play with an acoustic. Really simple, easy and
fun to play and sing along.

B
I can see being with you
                                   E
You?ve got a body I imagine to be like
                             B
What I imagine you?ve been told

B
I can see being with you

Your clothes are great and you wear them loose,
         E
And you know
                                B
When to hang on and when to let go

B
You had a house and you took me there
                                               E
I had to notice that the walls were bare and white
                                B
Like the ashes of yesterday?s fire

B
The bed looked like a butcher?s block, and
                                   
You liked it better when I was on top
         E                      B
And I thought about nothing at all

            Abm
You seem alright
                        E
A little close to the night
                B
But you seem alright
          F#
It?s inappropriate
                             B
But at least the walls are white

B
A piece of fool?s gold next to an empty vase;

I?m too old for you anyway.
        E
And I know you?ll disagree
                                              B
Because you know that you?re pretty when you lie

B
Before I go

I think I should tell you that

All the stars are dying and
                            E
Most of them are already through.
                                       B
We?re just getting off on yesterday?s fire

             Abm
From under a rock, I?m on my way to grace.
          E
I have stopped in a thousand houses
       B
On my way

B
But I never will forget,

Oh no, I never will forget about
    Abm
The way we played The Fall
                 E
And broke your plates against the wall
            B
As the sun rose

               F#
Then we fell asleep in the glass,
                  B
And then I had to go

B

E    B
E    B
Abm  E   B
Abm  E   B
