(When the Flames) Catch your Back (song)

(When The Flames) Catch Your Back By Jesse Scobie


Verse:
Bb minor
The fire's in the house now
Eb minor
It will catch you like a mouse trap
Ab
Your world is crumbling down
Db F
Your race car's off the race track

Bb minor
You keep running around here wasting all of our time
Eb minor
Never bothering to check the facts
Ab
Now you feel you're about to lose your mind
Db F
When the fever rises and the flames catch your back

(same chords)
Drinking margaritas on a sunny beach
You've got the time to relax
Everybody's dancing to your beat
All bad things are in your past

(same chords)
But wait a minute, just a minute, just a little minute
Everything here goes around so fast
Your gold minute's almost finished
When armageddon's coming and the flames catch your back

Trumpet solo over verse chords


Chorus:
Eb
It's so hard to be nice guy
F minor
With two horns on your head

Ab
It's so hard to live righteously
Bb
When it's easier being dead

(same chords)
Maybe someday I will turn my life around
Though you know it's something I dread

Maybe I'm just a dark should who's found
He has a good guy suit to shred

Verse 2:
Bb minor
You're crystal globe kingdom has finally cracked
Eb minor
You're social network is about to crash
Ab
Those words of hate are now all trapped
Db F
Though your actions continue to impact

(same chords)
I guess it all depends on who controls your soul
And if you're ready for the t final task
Because those dark demons take their toll
And the war's still going when the flames catch your back

Living For The Paper (And Losing The World For It) By Jesse Scobie

Verses:
Bm E
These simple things I soon forget
A D
In these nightmares of endless debt
Bm E
Crawling by on minimal means
A E
Nothing is ever easy here it seems

Same chords
The president says the end is near
Speaks words of nothing to fear
Father, mother struggling on by
Their children can only ask why?
And I'm…

Chorus:
F#m B
Living for the paper
C#m B
Making sure my dreams are dead
F#m E
Just living for the paper
C#m D
And losing the world for it
A B
Living for the paper
C#m D
Gotta support my wife and kids
A B
Cause they can't get by
G#m C#m C#
On just a hug and a kiss

Verses:
Bm E
Silly puppets on a stage
A D
Controlled by those who made
Bm E
The system for you and me
A D
Enslaving ourselves for free

From Greece, Iceland and Ireland
To China, Japan and our own USA
Bank lords and Wall Street stand
With their feet on our mouths today

Chorus:
F#m B
Livingfor the paper
C#m B
Making sure our dreams are dead
F#m E
We're living for the paper
C#m D
And losing the world for it
A B
Dying for the paper
C#m D
Have no sense of where I'm going
A B
My family's so forgotten
G#m C#m C#
And I can't keep on not knowing

Outro Chorus:

Living for the paper - A
Someday it's all gonna change - D E A
We'll make the world safer - F#m
No more a catalyst of shame -Bm D E

But life has no eraser "same chords"
You can't stay stuck in the past
We can't afford to waiver
It's time for all of us to act
