Over The Rhine - Spark

intro : F C Gm A#

verse 1 :

Dm A#
it’s not the spark that caused the fire
C Dm
it was the air you breathed that fanned the flame
Dm A#
what you think you’ll solve with violence
C Dm
will only spread like a disease until it all comes ’round again
Gm A#
was john the only dreamer?

chorus :

F C
sleep with one ear close to the ground
Gm A#
and wake up screaming
F C
when we lay our cold weapons down
Gm A#
we’ll wake up dreaming

verse 2 :

Dm A#
obsessions with self – preservation
C Dm
faded when i threw my fear away
Dm A#
it’s not a thing you can imagine

you either lose your fear or spend your life with one foot in the grave
Gm A#
is god the last romantic?

chorus :

F C
sleep with one ear close to the ground
Gm A#
and wake up screaming

when we lay our cold weapons down
Gm A#
we’ll wake up dreaming

everything we’ve lost can be found
