BLOOD AND FIRE (Amy Ray)
------------------------

[Key of A, but actually in B, so capo up 2 frets]
[The chords are just guides; mix in a lot of (9) chords with these.  For
 instance: in the intro, play the A for 5/8 of the measure and A(9) for
 the last 3/8; same with the G.  The D is actually D-D(9)-D-D(9).  Dsus
 is used at the end of the verses, and Asus at the end of choruses.]
[A=002220; A(9)=002200; Asus=002230; D=x00232; D(9)=x00230; Dsus=x00233;
 G=320003; G(9)=300003 or 320203.]

[intro]

A               G                D            D
  Well I have spent nights with matches and knives
        A               G         D      D
Leaning over ledges only two flights up
             A             G      D                      D
Cutting my heart, burning my soul, with nothing left to hold
        A             G     D     D
Nothing left, but blood and fire
           A                       G              D                      D
You have spent nights thinking of me, missing my arms but you needed to leave
         A                G                D         D
Leaving my cuts, leaving my burns, hoping I'd learn

G                D                         A                  A
  But blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold
        G           D                        A                  A
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold
        G            D                 A                    A
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away
                  G                 D  A    A
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe

I am looking for someone who can take as much as I give
And'll give back as much as I need, y'know and they still have the will to live
'Cause I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love
But I feel forsaken, you know like the things I, I gave away

And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe

I am intense, I'm in need, I'm in pain, I'm in love
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love
I am intense, I am in need, I am in pain, I am in love

And blood and fire are too much for these restless arms to hold
And my nights of desire, they're calling me here, back to your fold
And I'm calling you, calling you, from ten thousand miles away
Won't you wet my fire with your love, babe
Won't you wet my fire with your love, baby, hold me
          G              D                  A
