-Man Burning-
-Josh Ritter-
-------------
Capo 3
C Gsus4
Don't stand too close to me
C Gsus4
Don't be another tradgedy
Am
I've burned everybody
G F
Who had a hand to lend
G
A man burning at both ends
No one put me in this hell
I lit the fire underneath myself
Now Im blazing the same old
Trail back to you again
A man burning at both ends
F
A dangerous thing to know about
Am
No painless way to put me
Dm
You either make a bed thats cold
G7
Or you're walking barefoot over coals
I regret the things Ive done
Bitter words and fiery tounges
And letters burned to smoke
And then turned to wind
A man burning at both ends
A dangerous thing to know about
No painless way to put me
You either make a bed thats cold
or you're walking barefoot over coals
F
We ran barefoot the reeds
Am
Wetted down and with need
Dm
The tide, though high and getting higher
G7
Could not put out the man on fire
Look, look, look, look ,look down your street for me
Look up in your window please
You'll see a light where before no light had been
A man burning at both ends
