Playing With Fire

Text File

I'm predicting this is going to be my favorite song on his album.

Listen to the song for the picking pattern.
Bar chords sound best, to me.
Also, the lyrics a bit sketch...

The intro goes on for like 3 minutes, these are the chords:
Em C D Am B7


Em
Daddy I'm not going to say I'm sorry.
C
There ain't nothing you can do to change my mind.
              D
I'm not here to know the things I can not do.
                 Am                          B7
We've seen the outcome of the boys who didn't fly.
              Em
That road outside that'll you've been taking home forever,
                 C
that'll be the same road I take when I depart.
                D
Those charcoal veins that hold this chosen land together,
               Am                                    B7
may  twist and turn but somewhere deep there is a heart


Em
  Playing with Fire.
                         C
You know you're going to hurt somebody tonight.
             D
When you're   out on a wire,
                    Am      B7
you know you're playing with fire.


              Em
perhaps this calling is the channel of invention.
              C
I will not blush if others see it as a crime.
          D
However dangerous the road, however distant.
                  Am                          B7
These things won't compromise the will of the design.

             Em
Ten thousand demons hammer down with every foot step.
              C
Ten thousand angles rush the wind against my back.
              D
This church of mine may not be recognized by stepol,
             Am                               B7
that doesn't mean that I will walk without a god.


                      Em
rolling river of truth, can you spare me a sip?
                       Am
The holy fountain of youth, has been reduced to a drip.
                        C
I've got this burning belief,
                 G
in salvation in love,

this notion may be naive,
    C                         G
but when push comes to shove,
                    D
I will till this ground.

                          C                    G            C
You know you're gonna hurt somebody tonight.
G           D
   Out on a wire.


C                    G
   I might not get there.
               C   
This little town, this little house,
                  G                         Em               Em
they seem to be leaning in the wrong direction.
D                            Em
   I'm not afraid of you no more.

Em
Ohhhhhh
C

D
Ohhhh

B7
Ohhhhh   (2x)

Em
  Playing with Fire.
                         C
You know you're going to hurt somebody tonight.
             D
When you're   out on a wire,
                    Am      B7
you know you're playing with fire.

Em
Ohhhhhh

D

Am
