The Fire And The Thud Artic Monkeys


Nice song to play and easy to sing

It's just Gm and with the little finger play this

B----4---5---4

I call it Gm²

chorus:

g C F C

then it goes g F C (*2) before going back to the verse

Gm²

Gm²
you showed me my tommorow
Gm²
beside a box of matches
Gm²
a welcome threating stir/stare

Gm²
my hopes of being stolen
Gm²
might just ring true
Gm²
depends who you prefer

gIf its true Cyour gonna run away
Ftell me where I'llC meet you there

g F C (*2)

Gm²
Am I snapping the excitement?
Gm²
If i pack away the laughter
Gm²
and tell you how it feels

Gm²
And does burden come to meet ya
Gm²
If i have questions of the feature
Gm²
that rolls on your dream reel

gThe day after you Cstole my heart
FEveryting I touched told me it woCuld be better shared with you

g F C (*2)

g F C

And your hiding in my soup
agnd the boFok reveals Cyour face
agnd as you're sFplashing inC my eyelid
tghe concenFtration conCtinually breaks
Ig did reFquest the mCark you cast
Igt didnt hFeal as fastC 
Ig hear youFr voice inF silences
FThe teasing Fof the fire Fbe follCowed by tghe thud

g F C (*2)

gIn the jostlingg crowd your not allowed to tell thge truth and the photo booths
Gm² Gm²
A liar

Gm²
And the sharpened explanations
Gm² Gm²
but theres no screaming reason to enquire

gI'd like to poke them in their Cprying eyes with Fthings theyve never seen Cif
it smacks them in their templesg
