She Came Up From the Fire

[Intro] (instrumental)

Am F C G (×2)

(Verse 1)

Am F

I saw her standing in the sulfur rain

C G

Eyes like coal, lips the color of flame

Am F

She smiled and the streetlights flickered low

C G

Whispered my name like she already… knew

(Verse 2)

Am F

Her skin was fever, hotter than sin

C G

Carried the scent of ashes and gin

Am F

Said she'd escaped through a crack in the ground

C G

Now heaven's too quiet, hell's losing its sound

(Chorus)

Dm Am

She's from the pit, but God she's… beautiful

E7 Am

Burns like a torch in my… soul

Dm Am

I know she's poison, I know she'll… drag… me… down

E7 E7

Still I follow her straight into the… flame

(hold E7)

(Verse 3)

Am F

She dances on graves when the moon turns red

C G

Kisses like knives straight into my head

Am F

Promised me wings if I just stay the night

C G

But they're made of smoke and they block out the light

(Chorus)

Dm Am

She's from the pit, but God she's… beautiful

E7 Am

Burns like a torch in my… soul

Dm Am

I know she's poison, I know she'll… drag me… down

E7 E7

Still I beg her — don't ever let me… go

(Bridge) (slow down, let it breathe)

F G

Every warning bell is… ringing

Am E7

Every angel's… singing… run

F G

But her touch is the only… thing

E7 (let ring)

That feels like… home

(Chorus) (bigger strums, add some distortion if electric)

Dm Am

She's from the pit, but God she's… beautiful

E7 Am

Burns like a torch — takes… control

Dm Am

I sold my halo just to… taste… her… fire

E7 Am

Now I'm hers forever in the… funeral pyre

(Outro) (fade or end big)

Am F C G

Am F C G (soft)

Am (let ring)
