Vesuvius

Em   G   Bm   A   (X 2)   Em   

      G         Bm
Vesuvius, I am here
         A     Em  
You are all I have
         G            Bm
Fire of fire, I'm insecure
            A                Em
For it has all been made to plan

           G          Bm
Though I know I will fail
      A              Em
I cannot be made to laugh
        G          Bm
For in life as in death
               A                        Em
I'd rather be burned than be living in death
      G     Bm    A
La la la la la la la
Em    G     Bm    A    Em   
La la la la la la la

     G             Bm
Vesuvius, are you ghost
                   A                  Em
Or the symbols of light Or of fantasy host
          G                 Bm
In your breast I carry the form
                  A                        Em
The heart of the earth and the weapons of warmth

      G              Bm
Vesuvius, the tragic oath
                  A                 Em
For you have destroyed the elegant smoke
    G                    Bm
Oracle, I fought him at last
                A                   Em   G   Bm   A
They were the feast of a permanent blast

Em   G   Bm   A   Em

     G           Bm
Vesuvius, oh be kind
            A                          Em
It hasn't occurred, no it hasn't been said
    G              Bm
Sufjan, follow the path
                A                  Em
It leads to an article of eminent death

    G                Bm
Sufjan, follow your heart
             A                    Em
Follow the flame, or fall on the floor
    G               Bm
Sufjan, the panic inside
                A                      G   D   A   A    (X 4)   G
The murdering ghost that you cannot ignore

      D            A
Vesuvius, fire of fire
           G         
Follow me now, as I fever the ghost

Follow me now or follow me down
                            G   D   A   A
Why does it have to be so hard
(X 3)
