Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Come on in my weary friend

The welcome here is endless

These fears of yours, like painted whores

 They will not stay the night

 If all your life you've done what's right

 Don't say you felt

 Obliged

Come along, here's your timid tongue

 Too shy to tell your stories

This pain in you so far removed

 From anything you've known

 So I won't condone another moan

 Not when everything

 Is fine

 So when in drought learn to dance

 And pray the dead would return

 And dream smoke without fire

 Just come see me again when it burns

 Somewhere along the way

 Well, I was lead astray

 By a wolf in Noah's clothing

It was a brilliant disguise

 And I forgot that life existed

 I thought it was just some kind of game

 And that's what brings me to your doorstep

 Though I don't know why I came

 Today

 Standing still in the dust

 Giving up on the rain

 And as for smoke without fire

 I've already laid in the flame

I've already laid in the flame

Brother, be afraid of the flames

 Well I ain't afraid of the flames
