Biography:
Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.
Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s.

Words & Fire
Sam Roberts
Album: Love at the End of the World
Capo 6
D
These words don't come easy
They spit from my lips
A Bm
But then we never had it easy
D G A D
It slipped from our fingertips
D
When we met, you laughed at me
And stole my last cigarette
A Bm
Said you wanted to share a past with me
D G A
That tomorrow's the day to forget
A
And you said
(Chorus)
D G* D
Just give me a reason to carry on
A4 D
To carry on
D G* D
Just give me a reason to carry on
A D
To carry on
D
Now I've come unhinged
I'm a door in a frame
A Bm
Well I'm never quite closed
D G A7
But I ain't open to change
D
So my knuckles are bruised
From knocking on wood
A Bm
It's a trick that I've used
D G A
Perhaps more than I should
A
And I said
Chorus
Em Bm
Cause a heart is just a heart
D G
It can break and fall apart
D G
It can bleed and stop and start
D A
Cause a heart is just a heart
Bm D A
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh
D G D
Ooooh....Ooooh....Ooooh
D
Mix your words with fire
I'll let them burn me down
A Bm
Let them ring in the air
D G A
Like the bells of an old mining town
Chorus (repeat to end)
