The Stranger At My Door

Capo on 5th fret
	  		 

Em              Am            Em 
I have seen the firewatcherâ??s daughter. 
Em              Am                Em 
Watching fires burn from smoke to black. 
        C                 D          G    D/F#    Em 
There's nothing she won't burn, from styrofoam to urns. 
   B7/F#  
To someone else's ashes in a sack...  (..oh god i love her) 


Em 

Em                  Am            Em 
You can scorch the metal, you can even melt the glass. 
C                                Em 
You can pass the time here, fire lives into the past 
    C            D             G         D/F#  Em 
An all-consuming flame, that refines and new begins  
      B7/F#                                  B    A    G# F#   Em 
It'll take your family heirlooms, but it can take your darkest sins 

       C                                Em 
It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die 
        D                                   Em 
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes 
   C 
Condemn their sons to hades 
        Em                             Am 
And gehenna is full of guys, alive and well 
                   B7/F#                     Em 
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter 

Em Am Em 
Woooooooo 

Em Am Em 
Woooooooo 

C D Em  
Woooooo 

    Em          Am            Em 
We exercise the demons of the things we used to know 
    C                                Em 
The gnashing of the teeth become the remnants of our homes 
   C                D          G   D/F#      Em 
We think we're moving on, from materials we long 
   B7                       Em 
To forget we ever sold our souls to own 

           Em            Am               Em 
There's a chilling absolution that we're given from our birth 
  C        D/F#           Em 
A powerful delusion and a plague upon the earth 
    C                 D 
But nothing scares me more 
         G        D/F#  Em 
Than the stranger at my door 
      B7/F#                           Em 
Who i fail to give shelter, time, and worth 

       C                                Em 
It's a good ol' bedtime story, give you nightmares 'til you die 
        D                                   E 
And the ones that love to tell it, hide the mischief in their eyes 
   C 
Condemn their sons to hades 
        Em                              Am 
And gehenna is full of guys, alive and well 
                   B7/F#                      Em 
But there ain't no hell for a firewatcher's daughter
