You will learn to burn the icing sky and to melt the waxen mask

Oh I come to you with my offering, I bring you strange fire

This is a message, a message of love

Love that moves from the inside out, love that never grows tired

 CHORDS: E=022100 A=x07600 (slide up from E)

  D (9 fr.)=x00230 E/A=x02100 (same as A7M9)

  B(4)=x24440 (I think Emily plays x99800) A=x02220

The chords for the verse follow this strumming pattern, alternating

between E & A(9), which is a really easy transition. The rhythm is

sorta tricky, but you should be able to get it right with a little

practice. (The funny symbols are semi-quavers and such.)
