D Gm A Dm
[Verse 1]
D Gm
There are others in this house, I hear them calling from the outer rooms
A Dm
Log, hearth and ash under stale kerosene fumes
D Gm
Footsteps in the saddening snow lead me farther from this place
A Dm
Second chair drums keeping swaggering pace
[Bridge]
F Bbm
But there are few who know where I'm going
A
And few who know where I've been
A
Not again
[Chorus]
F C
I've burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre
Gm F#
Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within
F C
Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss
Gm A# A
Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years
D Gm A Dm x2
[Verse 2]
D Gm
Spare me the compassion that other men might show
A Dm
All has been lost in the harvest moon glow
D Gm
With hateful embers in my chest, I'll go wandering through the night
A Dm
With godspeed I'll travel downward hence the light
[Bridge]
F Bbm
But there are few who know where I'm going
A
And few who know where I've been
A
Not again
[Chorus]
F C
I've burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre
Gm F#
Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within
F C
Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss
Gm A# A
Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years
D Gm A Dm x2
[Interlude]
D* Gm* A
The pages of my time-worn life, written in blood
D* Gm*
The skin will peel, the wounds won't heal
A
Awaiting the flood
[Chorus]
F C
I've burned my desire, placed it upon the pyre
Gm F#
Seen the floors cave in and our hearts swell within
F C
Turned water into piss, felt sodden and soiled from a wretched kiss
Gm A# A
Filled an ocean with tears, all within just 27 years
