[Verse 1]

White pine, the moon is so high
A B A B Dbm
You see where you're going with your eyes closed
E
Wild-eyed, growl and smoke
A B Dbm Ebm
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]
E F#m Abm E
B A
Chain Emily to the stake

Her family's worried, she's terribly late

D haze rolling across the lake
Dbm Ebm E A
If we go, who's to know, dead by morning if we stay
A B B B B A B B B
[Verse 2]
E
D burnt tongue, the paper unfolds
A B A B Dbm
slipping it through another keyhole
E
Slim hope of fireproof rope
A B Dbm Ebm
Kerosene off of your sweet nose
E A
It's a steak knife into my thigh, watching you flicker in real time, call your own kind
D E
now we can't turn it around
[Chorus]
B A
Fates, give a warm soul a break
Dbm Ebm E F#m Abm E
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
Dbm Ebm E A
With this cold in my bones, and a child engulfed in flame
