[Verse 1]
C
White pine, the moon is so high
F G F G Am
You see where you're going with your eyes closed
C
Wild-eyed, growl and smoke
F G Am Cbm
Return every question in the same tone
C F
There's a state line, out in those pines, buried in frozen ground, we've chosen our sides,
Now we can't turn it around
[Chorus]
C Dm Fbm C
G F
Chain Emily to the stake

Her family's worried, she's terribly late

A# haze rolling across the lake
Am Cbm C F
If we go, who's to know, dead by morning if we stay
F G G G G F G G G
[Verse 2]
C
A# burnt tongue, the paper unfolds
F G F G Am
slipping it through another keyhole
C
Slim hope of fireproof rope
F G Am Cbm
Kerosene off of your sweet nose
C F
It's a steak knife into my thigh, watching you flicker in real time, call your own kind
A# C
now we can't turn it around
[Chorus]
G F
Fates, give a warm soul a break
Am Cbm C Dm Fbm C
Just give me a life where you're nothing but mine, and that's how it will stay

But hey, I've never been so afraid
Am Cbm C F
With this cold in my bones, and a child engulfed in flame
F G G G G F x3
