Intro: C D G C D G

Verse 1:
C           D              G
 I can see 'em through the front door
C         D                  G
A pack of wolves are closing in
C                   D              G
And they're running angry down the hillside
C          D              G
I hear 'em howling in the wind

Verse 2:
C                   D             G
And inside, there's devils on the TV
C                 D                G
With the same old lies they always say
C       D               G
So come wrap me in your love tonight
C           D               G
And help me keep 'em all at bay

Pre-chorus:
       C         D          G
Go and lock that door, come calm this storm
  C       D       G                         C
Until the morning light, baby, be my steady flame

Chorus:
        D                 G                               C
When my world, it gets to spinning a little faster than I like
         D               G                                C
When the cold is closing in, you're the one match that'll strike
         D               G                               C
When the looks of me get desperate like a desert needing rain
         D                   G                     C    D G
When the ground beneath me's shaking, be my steady flame

Verse 3:
C         D           G
When my river gets to rising
C           D          G
You're my levy holding strong
C            D                G
And You're a hand out in a riptide
                       C             D              G
That holds on when you know I'm just barely hanging on
                   C
Baby, be my steady flame

Chorus:
        D                 G                               C
When my world, it gets to spinning a little faster than I like
         D               G                                C
When the cold is closing in, you're the one match that'll strike
         D               G                               C
When the looks of me get desperate like a desert needing rain
         D                   G                     C    D G
When the ground beneath me's shaking, be my steady flame

Be my, be my steady flame

Until the morning light, be my steady flame

Chorus:
   D                 G                               C
My world, it gets to spinning a little faster than I like
        D               G                                C
And the cold is closing in, you're the one match that'll strike
         D               G                               C
When the looks of me get desperate like a desert needing rain
         D                   G                     C    D G
When the ground beneath me's shaking, be my steady flame
