[G#m]Fire on the porch on a summer's night
[E]All of my things are there inside
[B]Black smoke rise up, burn on burn higher [D#7]
[G#m]I smell leaves and burning tires
[E]Dogs in the meadows barking wild
[B]Blackbird rise up, tell me what you have [D#7]done
[G#m]I'm not drunk and I'm not sad
[E]There's nothing inside that I want back
[B]Let me touch your lips, let me see where you're [D#7]at
[G#m]Do you wonder how I am tonight
[E]Then don't loose time looking in my eyes
[B]Not every tear means you're gonna [D#7]cry
From the bottom of my [E]heart
Comes a cold dark [B]feeling
There is nothing but [D#7]dust
in the layers, I'm [G#m]peeling
From the bottom of my [E]heart
Beats a rattling [B]drum
coming up from the [D#7]depths
Into the rays of the [G#m]sun
[G#m]Now, under crushing skies of grays
[E]Paralyzed with phantom pains
[B]Before this room became just a [D#7]place
[G#m]Where I just sleep through endless days
[E]Spinning webs and carving names
[B]Where thoughts break up, exploding in [D#7]space
[G#m]But I once crossed a quarter-mile
[E]Through black pools of razor wires
[B]And cut through steel
[D#7]with the edge of a file
[G#m]While singing rhapsodies in stride
[E]Hellbent and dignified
[B]But my time has come
[D#7]Who you fooling and why?
From the bottom of my [E]heart
Comes a cold dark [B]feeling
There is imminent [D#7]death
to the promise, I'm [G#m]keeping
From the bottom of my heart[E]
Comes an army of one[B]
Marching back up the [D#7]steps
Into the rays of the [G#m]sun
[G#m]Pale-faced and hollowed eyes
[E]Buried under ruptured skies
[B]Not every smile means I'm laughing [D#7]inside
[G#m]Two-faced and compromised
[E]I've enraptured you with lies
[B]Everything means nothing
and tonight everything is [D#7]mine
From the bottom of my [E]heart
Comes a cold dark [B]feeling
I have buried so [D#7]much
In the layers, I'm [G#m]peeling
From the bottom of my [E]heart
A battle will [B]come
Marching back up the [D#7]steps
To the rays of the [G#m]sun
From the bottom of my [E]heart
Comes a cold dark [B]feeling
Wrapped around [D#7]tight
With no sign of [G#m]leaving
From the bottom of my [E]heart
A ballad is [B]sung
Through a whisper, she [D#7]comes
Into the rays of the [G#m]sun
[E]All of my things are there inside
[B]Black smoke rise up, burn on burn higher [D#7]
[G#m]I smell leaves and burning tires
[E]Dogs in the meadows barking wild
[B]Blackbird rise up, tell me what you have [D#7]done
[G#m]I'm not drunk and I'm not sad
