[Intro]
N.C.   Dm    C    Dm    C    Dm    C    Dm    C
Why so close
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm          C
Big boys in black hats
Dm           C
Cowboys with white guns
Dm               C
White guns shoot blue white
Dm            C    Dm
Blue white baptism
   C    Dm
No buffaloes
   C   Dm
No Indians
C            Dm
No more buffaloes

[Verse 2]
Dm         C
Red sky is falling
Dm             C
Blue blood no stalling
Dm               C
White heat will strip you
Dm         C
No time to run far
Dm                     C
Ivan's built a wall of lead 'round his house
Dm             C
Nobody can get in or out
Dm                      C
Running out of food for ammunition
Dm                          C
Frightened of the darkness, sending out scouts
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm           C
Why hang the fire so close
Dm           C
Why hang the fire so close
Dm           C
Why hang the fire so close
Dm
Why
   Dm    C
So close
   Dm    C    Dm    C    Dm    C
So close
 
 
[Verse 3]
Dm                        C
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
Dm                    C
Wore headphones since he was born
Dm            C
 Watches Ivan through dark glasses
Dm                      C
Hand on his gun waiting for the storm
Dm                  C
 One false move and we all fall down
Dm                C
No funeral games, no such fun
Dm                 C
Here's your ticket to the party
Dm                      C                 Dm    C
That's what you get for playing with a gun
Dm         Dm    C    Dm    C    Dm    C    Dm    C
Six-gun so close
 
 
[Verse 4]
Dm
Ivan's got a wall of lead 'round his house
N.C.
Nobody can get in or out
N.C.
Running out of food for ammunition
N.C.
Frightened of the darkness, sending out scouts
N.C.
Wayne's got a wall that's much more subtle
N.C.
Wore headphones since he was born
N.C.
Watches Ivan through dark glasses
N.C.
Hands on his gun waiting for the storm
 
 
[Chorus]
Dm                 C
Why stand the fire so close
Dm                 C
Why stand the fire so close
Dm                 C
Why stand the fire so close
Dm
Why?
