Song: Volcano
By:   Damien Rice

[intro:]  {4 measures of Am, G on last beat, 4 measures of F, G on last beat} 
          {same pattern throughout the song}

         | Am | | |Am G | F | | | F G | 
         | Am | | |Am G | F | | | F G | 

[verse: 1]
Am		                 Am G F
  Don't hold yourself like that
F	                       F G Am
  You'll hurt your knees 
Am                             Am G F
  I kissed your mouth and back
F
  That's all I need
G                   F       
  Don't build your world around
G                 F       {hit} 
  Volcanoes melt you down

[chorus:]
       Am                 F        
What I am to you, is not real
       Am                     F    
What I am to you, you do not need
       Am                      F         
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me
             Am                               F             {let ring}
You give me miles and miles of mountains, and I ask for the sea

         | Am | | |Am G | F | | | F G | 
         | Am | | |Am G | F | | | F G | 

[verse: 2] {f = female voice}  {m = male voice}
Am                               Am G F
  Don't hold yourself like that {f}
F                                F G Am
  You'll hurt your knees {f}
Am                               Am G F
  I kissed your mouth and back {f}
F     
  That's all I need {f}
 G                    F     
  Don't build your world around {f}
G                 F          {hit}
  Volcanoes melt you down {f}
 

[chorus:]   
       Am                 F          
What I am to you, is not real {f+m} 
       Am                     F      
What I am to you, you do not need {f+m} 
       Am                          F               
What I am to you, is not what you mean to me {f+m} 
             Am                               F        
You give me miles and miles of mountains, and I ask for the sea {f+m} 

[bridge:]
            C
for what I give to you
                  G
Is just what i'm going through
                Am
This is nothing new
              F
No no just another phase of finding
           C
what I really need
          E
Is what makes me bleed
           Am
And like a new disease
              F   {hit}
Lord, she's still too young to treat

[coda:]   | Am | | |Am G | F | | | F G |  {same as intro, repeat to end} 

Volcanoes melts you down  {f  repeat to A}
she's still too young     {m  repeat 8 times}
she's still too young, yeah, is not real {m}
she's still too young, yeah, you do not need {m}
she's still too young, yeah, is not real {m}
she's still too young, yeah, you do not need {m}
[A:]
I kissed your mouth {m+f}, she's still too young
I kissed your mouth {m+f}, she's still too young
I kissed your mouth {m+f}, she's still too young
I kissed your mouth {m+f}, she's still too young  {let ring}

You do not need me
