Fever

	  		

 

C 
When the fever passes 
At the bottom of 
The cotton in the background 
In the background of the flood 

F 
Dry among the wet and the rotten 

C 
When the fever passes 
Next to the brimming well 
The worst is more than over 
And anyone can tell 

When the fever passes 
And we're all back in our nests 

F 
We'll be extravagant hosts instead of imposing guests 

D                             F 
And all that you know of this is what you have heard 

C 
I'm not sure even the best of us 

D                             F 
And all that you know of this is what you have heard 

C 
I'm not sure even the best of us 

D         F      C 
Can care all the time 


When the fever passes 
When we don't know what to do 
We'll buy twice as many comforts 
Just like we used to do 
When the fever passes 
When the fever clears 
We'll look back on these quietly like they're someone else's years
