The Fire And The Thud by Arctic Monkeys

          The Fire And The Thud Artic Monkeys


Nice song to play and easy to sing

It's just Fm and with the little finger play this

B----4---5---4

I call it Fm²

chorus:

Fm A D C

then it goes Fm D C (*2) before going back to the verse

Fm²

Fm²
you showed me my tommorow
Fm²
beside a box of matches
Fm²
a welcome threating stir/stare

Fm²
my hopes of being stolen
Fm²
might just ring true
Fm²
depends who you prefer

Fm          A
If its true your gonna run away
D                 C
tell me where I'll meet you there

Fm D C (*2)

Fm²
Am I snapping the excitement?
Fm²
If i pack away the laughter
Fm²
and tell you how it feels

Fm²
And does burden come to meet ya
Fm²
If i have questions of the feature
Fm²
that rolls on your dream reel

Fm                A
The day after you stole my heart
D                                C
Everyting I touched told me it would be better shared with you

Fm D C (*2)

 Fm       D          C

And your hiding in my soup
 Fm       D          C
and the book reveals your face
 Fm            D          C
and as you're splashing in my eyelid
 Fm       D          C
the concentration continually breaks
 Fm     D          C
I did request the mark you cast
 Fm       D          C
It didnt heal as fast
 Fm       D         D
I hear your voice in silences
D           D           D      C        Fm
The teasing of the fire be followed by the thud

Fm D C (*2)

Fm            Fm                                 Fm
In the jostling crowd your not allowed to tell the truth and the photo booths
   Fm²  Fm²
A liar

 Fm²
And the sharpened explanations
 Fm²                                    Fm²
but theres no screaming reason to enquire

Fm                             A                D                        C
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things theyve never seen if
                               Fm
it smacks them in their temples
