Scorched Earth

SCORCHED EARTH Em7 Here I come, A7 Get ready. Em7 I might be moving slow, A7 But my hands are steady. Em7 Fruit on the vine Juice of the lime A7 A sweet-rimmed glass or a bitter rind Em7 A7 Em7 Give it a chance Give it a curse, A7 Catch your breath Standing on scorched earth Oo oo, here’s looking at you. When the same old thing becomes something new Salt on the soil Salt on the tongue Salt water rising when the moonlight comes Loosen that collar Loosen your purse I’ll burn you so hot Leave you scorched earth. D9 We’re only melting down C#9 All melting down C9 All melting to the B9 ground ground Ground Em7 A7 ground Melting to the ground.
