The New Fever Waltz
3/4 Time
| Bm | G | D | A |
| Bm | G | D | A |
Bm A/C# D
Forgotten scars remind us of
G A/C# Bm
Too much war, too little love
G D/F#
Beneath the fault line truth to burn
F C/E
Within the page so much to learn
Bm A/C# D
Wounded birds look to us
G A/C# Bm
Who can heal, who to trust
G D/F#
Bring down the giants old and new
F C/E G C/D G
Strike up the band and waltz on through
chorus:
D F#m
I was shaking with a fever
Bm Bm/A
When the last good horse went down
G D
We were just a couple dancing
A D/A Bm A/C#
Where a thousand kings were crowned
D F#m
Shaking with a fever
Bm Bm/A
Before the white flag flew
G D/F#
And the ballroom opened up to us
F G D
And the dancers danced on through
repeat intro
Bm A/C# D
Love in ru ins, torn apart
G A/C# Bm
Victims of the careless heart
G D/F#
Skating on the cold grey ice
F C/E
Before the flood toward the light
Bm A/C# D
Muddy boots to shiny shoes
G A/C# Bm
Headlines screaming out the news
G D/F#
From dirt and camp to hardwood floors
F C/E G
Beyond the burned out broken walls
repeat chorus
