[Verse 1]
C Em G F Am Em
You lived in a fog, in the summer the dogs barked every night
C Em G F Am Em
With the blackened lung, a plateful of crums, and a raft of fans on high
Am Em F Dm C Em G F Am
While you swung around like you owned the place
Em C Em G F Am Em
Wiped that look right off my face!
[Verse 2]
C Em G F Am Em
Stuck in the frozen, fuck like it's going out of style
C Em G F Am Em
Down on the shore with his shirt and his chords waiting slack and single file
Am Em F Dm Dm Dm
With your well so dry and your face so red
[Chorus]
G F Em F
There's a restless energy, it lurks behind your eyes
G F Em F
Dormant like a genie, he'll express himself in time
Em F
Still, a part of me screams
Gm Ab
But it's sewn up inside
Am Em F C
And oh-my-god
Am Em F C G Dm Dm Dm
Now look what you've done
C Em G F Am Em x2
Am Em F Dm
[Verse 3]
C F G
Honey it's true, you've been sleepwalking through the last few months
C Bm F G
Face to the floor, down on all 4s, looking for what i had once
Am Em F Dm Dm Dm
And it hurts sometimes, but I'm used to it
[Chorus]
G F Em F
Maybe he'll go to the ring and hold your hand over the flame
G F Em F
We'll lose all sense of time and we'll forget each other's names
Em F Gm Ab
We'll see what there is to see and come back the way we came
Am Em F C
And the slow, sad waterfall
Am Em F C G
Makes your eyes look dry
[Bridge]
F
Why-y-y-y,
Am G
Why do you hold that heart like something wild?
F
Why-hy-hy-hy?
Am Dm
Why do you keep that heart locked up so tight?
[Outro]
