Bonfire Chords & Lyrics - Josh Ritter

Capo: 4th fret

[C]You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
They [C]keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
One[Fmaj7] day I might die, until then there's too much to [C]do
But [G]I'll keep a [G7]bonfire for [C]you.

I've [C]seen the pretty boys that you're keeping around
I [C]know how it goes, I've got a girl in town.
And she [Fmaj7]likes me enough to do what I like to [C]do.
But, [G]I'll keep a [G7]bonfire for [C]you.

Let the [Em]other lovers talk about who carries the torch
Let them [F]talk about the beauty that they carry it for [C]
Let the [Em]other lovers talk about who got what
And who[F] got burned and who got cut [C]

I'll [C]be in the orchard when you get tired
[C]Day after day of the shouts from the choir
[Fmaj7]Eating the apples and eating the peaches, too
And [G]waiting by my [G7]bonfire for [C]you.

In the [C]dark anybody will do for love
But you're[C] the only one I want when the sun comes up
No [Fmaj7]burning ball of fire set in the sky will[C] do
Ne[G]xt to my bo[G7]nfire for you. [C]

Let the[Em] other lovers talk about who carries the torch
Let them[F] talk about the beauty that they carry it for
Let the [Em]other lovers talk about who got what
And [F]who got burned and who got cut

I [C]need a little motion, need a little relief
I ge[C]t a little lonely at the end of the week
And I [Fmaj7]want it so bad and if you want it so bad,[C] too
I'll be o[G]ver here with my b[G7]onfire for [C]you.

You got a lot of lovers with star-crossed wrists
They keep a candle burning on the corner you kissed.
One day I might die, until then there's too much to do
But I'll keep a bonfire for you.
