[Verse 1]
A#
White pine, the moon is so high
D# F D# F Gm
You see where you're going with your eyes closed
A#
Wild-eyed, growl and smoke
D# F Gm Am
Return every question in the same tone

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]
A# Cm Dm A#

Chain Emily to the stake

If we go, who's to know, dead by morning if we stay

[Verse 2]
A#
G# burnt tongue, the paper unfolds
D# F D# F Gm
slipping it through another keyhole

Slim hope of fireproof rope

Kerosene off of your sweet nose
A# D#
It's a steak knife into my thigh, watching you flicker in real time, call your own kind
G# A#
now we can't turn it around
[Chorus]
F D#
Fates, give a warm soul a break
Gm Am A# Cm Dm A#
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
Gm Am A# D#
With this cold in my bones, and a child engulfed in flame
