The New Fever Waltz

   Bm             D
Forgotten scars remind us of
G                 Bm
Too much war, too little love
  G                    D
Beneath the fault-line truth to burn
   F               C
Within the page so much to learn


[Verse 2]
Bm            D
Wounded birds look to us
G             Bm
Who can heal? Who to trust
      G                  D
Bring down the giants old and new
       F               C        G
Strike up the band and waltz on through


[Chorus]
      D              F#m
I was shaking with a fever
         Bm                   A
When the last good horse went down
        G             D
We were just a couple dancing
        A
Where a thousand kings were crowned
D              F#m
Shaking with a fever
  Bm                  A
Before the white flag flew
        G               D
And the ballroom opened up to us
        F       G         D         Dsus4  D
And the dancers danced on through


[Interlude]
Bm  G  D  A   x2


[Verse 3]
Bm             D
Love in ruins, torn apart
G              Bm
Victims of the careless heart
G              D
Skating on the cold grey ice
  F                C
Before the flood toward the light


[Verse 4]
Bm             D
Muddy boots to shiny shoes
G                   Bm
Headlines screaming out the news
     G                D
From dirt and damp to hardwood floors
  F                   C      G
Beyond the burned out broken walls


[Chorus]
      D              F#m
I was shaking with a fever
         Bm                   A
When the last good horse went down
        G             D
We were just a couple dancing
        A
Where a thousand kings were crowned
D              F#m
Shaking with a fever
  Bm                  A
Before the white flag flew
        G               D
And the ballroom opened up to us
        F       G         D         Dsus4  D
And the dancers danced on through
