I will have to work on the intro chords but wanted to get this up...
Capo 2 (Play in E if you want no capo)
D Bm G A D
Why do you become defensive every last time I attack
Bm G A
There will be interrogations till we know how the knives got in my back
D Bm G D
Cause I'd love to take it easy but that's a hard way to go
Bm G A D
When a grip is lost or found on things, you'll be the first to know
Chorus:
Em G D G G/F#
If I burn to the ground or rise up from the flames
Em G A
It won't be long before I know you feel the same
D G D G
If my voice sounds scared and frozen, it's because I'm afraid and cold
D A G D
When I am, you'll always be the first to know
We begin to build religion 'round the acts of day to day
You can curse when the laws are broken or too may people showed up to pray
And it's a clumsy contradiction to protect or let it show
Any way it all pans out, you'll be the first to know
Chorus
Fiddle
Steel
Chorus
When I am you'll always be the first to know
