Firestorm

Capo 3
Am E7 Am
Chorus:
Am
I ain’t like that anymore
E7
I don’t kick off like before
F G
I’m more relaxed, I’m all reformed
Am
I ain’t a firestorm
Am C
I played a show in Club Delaney
G Am
Long, but still they would not pay me
G Am F
They said times were tough and I said tough times just abound
Am C
They said it’s all misunderstanding
G Am
And I should not be so demanding
G E7 Am
In the old days I’d have burned the bastards down
Chorus
I made my way from Spain to France
A naked sort of paper dance
There were stamps to beg for and palms demanding grease
They said there’s nothing they could do
They said there’s tricks that get you through
Was a time I would have nailed those palms to trees
Chorus
Cause now you’ve turned my eyes to see
A wider view, a kinder scene
And I used to blame the forest for the trees
But you hold my hand and step me back
A love that lights a charcoal past
A trail of ash and burned down memories
Bridge:
G F
I used to flap my tongue like fists of flint against the granite fools
G Am
Until sparks blazed in my eyes, it’s true
G
But now I’m done with that, I haven’t
Am
Torched the woods to kill one rabbit
G E7?
Not for years, not until they came and f**ked with you
Final Chorus:
Am
I’m still like that some I know
E7
There’s still kindling in my soul
F G
It burns quiet, it burns slow
Am F G F G F G Am
Until a firestorm explodes
