INTRO: F C Gm Bb
VERSE 1:
Dm Bb
It's not the spark that caused the fire
C Dm
It was the air you breathed that fanned the flame
Dm Bb
What you think you'll solve with violence
C Dm
Will only spread like a disease until it all comes 'round again
Gm Bb
Was John the only dreamer?
CHORUS:
F C
Sleep with one ear close to the ground
Gm Bb
And wake up screaming
F C
When we lay our cold weapons down
Gm Bb
We'll wake up dreaming
VERSE 2:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/o/over_the_rhine/spark_crd.html ]
Dm Bb
Obsessions with self-preservation
C Dm
Faded when I threw my fear away
Dm Bb
It's not a thing you can imagine
C Dm
You either lose your fear or spend your life with one foot in the grave
Gm Bb
Is God the last romantic?
CHORUS:
F C
Sleep with one ear close to the ground
Gm Bb
And wake up screaming
F C
When we lay our cold weapons down
Gm Bb
We'll wake up dreaming
F C Gm Bb (x 1)
F C
Only love can turn this around
Gm Bb
I wake up dreaming
F C
Everything we've lost can be found
Gm Bb
We'll wake up dreaming
