Cm Gm Bonfire of awe and a thirst was burning D# Heart like a house, the floorboards were turning Cm Gm D# A# Dark river beds where slumber was decay The light, it wrapped you in its flame The only heir of the breaking day Made words an arrow only you could aim Chorus: Cm Gm With no injury to claim D# I'm a big mess of little joys Cm Gm My blue eyes are wrapped in grey D# I'm a big mess I loved you once, but none to blame A foggy peak in the August rain A humid heat that would never dissipate The wind, it hunted our stray calls Combined with dragging from the hull But that was then when you gripped tight on me Chorus: With no injury to claim I'm a big mess of little joys My blue eyes are wrapped in grey I'm a big mess of little joys Cm Gm Lunar, solar, thought that things were over D# Midnight, twilight, thought that things were alright Cm Gm And don't you take my heart away D# A# I'm a big mess of little joys Chorus: With no injury to claim I'm a big mess of little joys My blue eyes are wrapped in grey I'm a big mess of little joys Lunar, solar, thought that things were over Midnight, twilight, thought that things were alright And don't you take my heart away I'm a big mess of little joys You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA# Cm D# Gm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
