Start a Fire

												
Intro: Gadd9 A6 | Bm | Gmaj

Gmaj              A6                            Gmaj
Someone’s selling garden roses down the square,
                 A6                             Gmaj
People gathering by to breathe the morning air,
                    A              A#dim7      Bmadd9      Bmadd11 Bm Bmadd9
But no one sees the bitter cold and shivering empty hands.

Gadd9               A6                               Gadd9
A schoolgirl running by and trying to beat the bell,
Gmaj            A                 F#m     F#m+ Gadd9
People dropping, tossing coins in wishing wells,
                     A                   A#dim7  Bm        Bmadd9 Bm
But no one cares for dreams that don’t fit into our world.

Chorus:
     Bm7  Gadd9      Gmaj A6
     Maybe nightfall
        F#m7     Bm Bmadd9
     Darkens skies
              G         Asus4     F#m7 Hmsus4 Bm
     And maybe teardrops stain our eyes,
        Bmadd9   Gmaj           A              Gmaj Gmaj5-
     But may the slightest light start a fire.

  Gmaj           A6                        Gmaj
A soldier in the hands of a forgotten mess
                A6             F#m7      Gmaj
Digging out the burning bullets in his chest,
                   A6               A#dim7     Bm            Bmadd9
So eager, bold and noble – printing footsteps on this earth.

Chorus:
             Gmaj        A
     And maybe nightfall
        F#m7     Bm
     Darkens skies
            Gadd9       A          F#m F#m+ F#m7 Bm
     And maybe teardrops stain our eyes,
             Gmaj               A        Bm    F#7
     But may the slightest light start a fire,
           D       E6 E G
     Start a fire.
   D     Dmaj    Em              F# F#+ F#7
     But may the slightest light
               Bm
     Start a fire.
