C
When the fever passes
C
At the bottom of
C
The cotton in the background
C
In the background of the flood
F               Dm                      C
Dry among the, dry among the wet and the rotten

C
When the fever passes
C
Next to the brimming well
C
The worst is more than over
C
And anyone can tell
F                                    Dm            C
When the fever passes, and we're all back in our nests
D                                     F               C
We'll be extravagant hosts instead of the imposing guests

[Chorus]

D                          F                       C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard
C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us
D                          F                        C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard
C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us
D         F      C
Can care all the time

[Verse 2]

C
When the fever passes
C
When we don't know what to do
C
We'll buy twice as many comforts
C
Just like we used to do
F
When the fever passes
Dm              C 
When the fever clears
               D                                  F             C
Oh we'll look back on these quietly like they're someone else's years

[Chorus]

D                          F                        C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard
C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us
D                          F                       C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard
C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us
D         F      C
Can care all the time


[Verse 3]

C
When the fever passes
C
At the bottom of
C
The cotton in the background
C
In the background of the flood
F               Dm                      C
Dry among the, dry among the wet and the rotten

C
When the fever passes
C
Next to the brimming well
C
The worst is more than over
C
And anyone can tell
F                                    Dm           C
When the fever passes and we're all back in our nests                        
         D                                 F          C
We'll be extravagant hosts instead of the imposing guests

[Chorus]

D                         F                        C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard
C
I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us

I'm not sure even the best of us, I'm not sure even the best of us
D                          F
And all that you know of this 
D                          F
And all that you know of this 
D                           F                     C
And all that you know of this is what you have heard
