Red Lava

C   C   C   C


[Verse 1]
C                 G
Red lava flows so slowly
      F            C       G
There is no way to damp it down

    C                   G
and as my anger grows, I notice
   F             C   G
it petrifies the bystander


[Bridge]
      Em                F            C
how I pitied you as the dull one was layering
      Em                 F                  C      G
how I hoped the pressure ridge would be the end


[Verse 2]
      C                   G
and I begged you to stand by me
     F                   C
even though the burn was slow
  G
I knew it would consume you

      F                          C
and I watched you fight for your life
       G
as the magma killed our love
      F                   C
and I watched the sadness in your eyes
   G
as lava slowly covered you


[Bridge]
    C                   G
and afterwards you were cold
F             C
colorless and hard
         F                C
you were burned too badly to recover
            G        C
as I so innocently hovered


[Solo]
|(C)    | G     | F  C  | G     |


[Chorus]
C                      G
  and I didn't need to hurt you
  F
red lava flows
  Fm
red lava flows

C                  G
  I didn't need to hurt you
  Dm7      F
red lava flows
  Dm7      F
red lava flows
  Dm7      F      C    Bb  F  C
red lava flows so slow
