The Beltsville Crucible

	  		 
Capo on 1st 




(verse 1) 

C            D11             Em 
True friends stab you in the front 

C             D11              Em 
Keep you from getting what you want 

                 
When one more fix could kill you 

C             D11 
They help you realize that 



G                             Em 
You're more and less than you first had believed 

       G                          Em          
You've so much to give and there's so much you need 

C                 D11              G 
Shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe 

C              D11          C   
Three thousand miles just to learn 



(verse 2) 

C          D11              Em 
All that's gold does not all shine 

C           D11                Em 
And helping words aren't always kind, 

                 
When one more kiss could kill you, 

C             D11 
They help you realize that 




G                             Em 
You're more and less than you first had believed 

       G                          Em          
You've so much to give and there's so much you need 

C                 D11              G 
Shortcuts through graveyards and a brand new way to breathe 

C              D11           C   
Three thousand miles just to learn 



(Instrumental Break...Repeat a bunch)

(Outro) 

G    Gadd9  Gmaj7  Em    Csus2 
H-----o----w to   let my guard down 

           G    Gadd9  Gmaj7  Em   Csus2   C 
Accept the fire has    spread among us. 

G    Gadd9   Gmaj7  Em   Csus2 
And  if     you're feeling all right, 

              G    Gadd9  Gmaj7      
You've got to play  it    again, 

        Em      Csus2     C 
You've got to play it again. 

      
G     Gadd9     Gmaj7     Em     Csus2 
G     Gadd9     Gmaj7     Em     Csus2     C
