C E7 F G
I've been wondering how she led a long haired boy astray
(I strum the rest of the song from here until the outro)
C G Am F
No, I've fought to the man for the last time
C G Am F C
And I don't understand how a girl so much like rain can breathe so much fire
(C) G Am F
C G Am F
C G Am F
I've been tapping the walls listening for angels
C G Am F
I've been eyeing the halls spying for ghosts
C E7 F G
And in a shadowy dream, I see her barefoot on the glider
C E7 F G
I try to beg her for peace, but I'm just too vague and far away
C G Am F
No, I've fought to the man for the last time
C G Am F C
And I don't understand how a girl so much like rain can breathe so much fire
(C) G Am F

C E7 F G
And in a shadowy dream, I see her barefoot on the glider
C E7 F G
I try to beg her for peace, but I'm just too vague and far away
C G Am F
No, I've fought to the man for the last time
C G Am F C E7
And I don't understand how a girl so much like rain can breathe so much fire
(E7) F Fm
She breathed so much fire
(Fm) C G Am Am/F# F
How could she see through the flames?
(F) C G
How could she see through the flames?
