Emily Sue Contd

B

[Verse 1]

B
White pine, the moon is so high
                                      E           F#   E   F# Abm
You see where you're going with your eyes closed
B
Wild-eyed, growl and smoke
                               E        F#   Abm   Bbm
Return every question in the same tone
            B                                                 E
There's a state line, out in those pines, buried in frozen ground, we've chosen our sides,

Now we can't turn it around


[Chorus]

B C#m Ebm B

F#                   E
Chain Emily to the stake
                B C#m Ebm B    F# C#m Ebm B
Her family's worried, she's terribly late
   F#                      E
A haze rolling across the lake
      Abm           Bbm            B            E
If we go, who's to know, dead by morning if we stay

E    F# F# F# F# E    F# F# F#


[Verse 2]

   B
A burnt tongue, the paper unfolds
                              E      F#   E   F# Abm
slipping it through another keyhole
B
Slim hope of fireproof rope
                       E        F#   Abm   Bbm
Kerosene off of your sweet nose
         B                                                 E
It's a steak knife into my thigh, watching you flicker in real time, call your own kind
               A        B
now we can't turn it around


[Chorus]

F#                          E
Fates, give a warm soul a break
               Abm                           Bbm                            B C#m Ebm B
Just give me a life where you're nothing but mine, and that's how it will stay
     F#                       E
But hey, I've never been so afraid
           Abm        Bbm           B                 E
With this cold in my bones, and a child engulfed in flame

E    F# F# F# F# E  x3

E    F# F# F# F#
