Capo: 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
A
A phased golden light
F#m
Rained down from the street light
Bm
It fell across your shoulder
E
Paused just above your collar
A
Like it had something to show me
F#m
As if I wasn't already noticing
Bm
Your eyes a shade of wonder
E
Like if thunder had a color
[Chorus]
A
It could have been harmless
F#m
Wanting to see
Bm
If I could get a little closer
E
And walk away breathing
A
It might've been cheating
F#m
Where exactly is the line?
Bm
Too early to admit it
E
I wanted you for mine
[Verse 2]
A
I kissed Maria in the alley
F#m
You laughed and spilled your whiskey
Bm
There's some I can't remember
E
A talented bartender
A
And way out in the cheap seats
F#m
The stars stared unblinking
Bm
The ones that know anything
E
Won't be revealing
[Chorus]
A
It could have been harmless
F#m
Wanting to see
Bm
If I could get a little closer
E
And walk away breathing
A
It might've been cheating
F#m
Where exactly is the line?
Bm
Too early to admit it
E
I wanted you for mine
[Bridge]
G A
There was a sword in my drink
G A
Everything's a sign, if you want it to be
E
And you want it to be
[Chorus]
A
It could have been harmless
F#m
Wanting to see
Bm
If I could get a little closer
E
And walk away breathing
A
It might've been cheating
F#m
Where exactly is the line?
Bm
Too early to admit it
E
I wanted you for mine
G F#m C#m
It could've been harmless
G F#m A
It could've been harmless
[Verse 1]
She took her lover on a road trip
Turned out to be a bad idea
She lost his eagle feather brooch clip
Present from some sad Maria
Things never made it back to normal
He was the wrong kind of naive
She stopped for gas in Oklahoma
Left him alone on St. John's Eve
[Chorus]
There's a pale fire
There's a pale fire
There's a pale fire rising on the plain
[Verse 2]
Remember when you were a fighter
Remember when I was a queen
Now I'm just another writer
Can't keep up with your machine
Every man I meet is perfect
Any better, they'd be wrong
Now it's never really worth it
And I can spend my days alone
[Chorus]
There's a pale fire
There's a pale fire
There's a pale fire rising on the plain
[Bridge]
Every man I meet is perfect
Any better, they'd be wrong
Now it's never really worth it
And I can spend my days alone
[Chorus]
There's a pale fire
There's a pale fire
There's a pale fire rising on the plain
