[Am][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
I was born a baby [Am]boy a long time [G]ago
[F]Back when the hillsides were green
and the water would [Am]flow[G][Am]
But nights they fall and settle like [G]snow
I [F]watched as the hillsides turned
white with nowhere to go
[Am][G]

[Verse 2]
[F]Oh, think I'm gonna [G]start [Am]a fire
[F]Oh, think I'm gonna [G]start [Am]a fire

[Verse 3]
[G]Now[Am][G][Am][G][Am]
my heart's
a frozen lake where streams used to [G]flow
[F]Down to the forest of my mind
where memory would grow
[Am]Now [G]I wa[Am]lk amongst the
trees where the last sun [G]glows
The [F]leaves are all golden and brown
with nowhere to go
[Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[F]Oh think I'm gonna [G]start [Am]a fire
And [F]oh think I'm gonna
[G]start [Am]a fire now[G]

[Verse 5]
[F]My skin like these boulders
Is [G]cracking and older
[C]With each passing year [Am]that goes
My [F]cliff face is crumbling
Si[G]lently tumbling
[C]Down to [E]the water below
[Am]And if I lig[F]ht a match
I'll [G]be able to catch
The [E]last sun before it [F]goes

[Verse 6]
And [F]oh well, I think I'm gonna [G]start [Am]a fire
[F]Oh think I'm gonna [G]start [Am]a fir[G]e
[F]And oh, think I'm gonna [G]start [Am]a fire now

[Outro 1]
