[Capo 4]
C G
Some say love is a burning thing
Am C F
That it makes a fiery ring
C G
Oh but I know love as a fading thing
Am C F
Just as fickle as a feather in a stream
C G
See, honey, I saw love. You see, it came to me
Am C F
It put its face up to my face so I could see
C G
Yeah then I saw love disfigure me
Am C F
Into something I am not recognizing
C G
See, the cage, it called. I said, "Come on in"
Am C F
I will not open myself up this way again
C G
Nor lay my face to the soil, nor my teeth to the sand
Am C F
I will not lay like this for days now upon end
C G
You will not see me fall, nor see me struggle to stand
Am C F
To be acknowledge by some touch from his gnarled hands
C G
You see, the cage, it called. I said, "Come on in"
Am C F
I will not open myself up this way again
C G
You see, the moon is bright in that treetop night
Am C F
I see the shadows that we cast in the cold, clean light
C G
My feet are gold. My heart is white
Am C F
And we race out on the desert plains all night
C G
See, honey, I am not some broken thing
Am C F
I do not lay here in the dark waiting for thee
C G
No my heart is gold. My feet are light
Am C F
And I am racing out on the desert plains all night
C G
So some say love is a burning thing
Am C F
That it makes a fiery ring
C G
Oh but I know love as a caging thing
Am C F
Just a killer come to call from some awful dream
C G
O and all you folks, you come to see
Am C F
You just stand there in the glass looking at me
C G
But my heart is wild. And my bones are steel
Am C F
And I could kill you with my bare hands if I was free.
