[B] I'm going to sing a song [E] called The Great Big Sky.
Elbows [A] on the windowsill
[E] My head [B] against the pane
[C#m] Seen so [F#] many [A]
grow and die
[E] But you forget [B] most of their names
[E] So fire [F#] that [A] arrow to the great big sky
[E] And hope it never [B] comes down
[C#m] Unless you're [A] coming with it
[E] It's better with you [B]
around
[C#m] I [A]
[E] [B]
[C#m] [B] [A]
[E] [B]
[E] could drink myself [A] to death tonight
[E] Or I could stand and give [B] a toast
[C#m] To those who [A] made it out alive
[E] With you I've missed [B] the most
[E] But tonight I'll see [A] my sweetheart
[E] I got a fifty [B] dollar bill
[C#m] Somewhere [A] in her weak heart
[E] She knows [B] I never will
[C#m] [A]
[E] I'm a fire
She
[B] [C#m] knows [A]
[E] I'm a fire
I'm [B] [C#m] [A]
[E] a fire
[B] [C#m] I'm [A] a fire
I'll [E] be your ice
From a tiny room up on Smith Hill
It's easy to [B] disappear
It's [C#m] easy to run off [A] hiding
[E] I tell you I don't [B] want you here
[E] I can't [A] stand to face the facts
[E] It's only an [B] evil hurt
[C#m] I don't care much for [A] what you have to say
[E] But I'd like to know [B] what you heard
