[Verse 1]
D#
White pine, the moon is so high
G# A# G# A# Cm
You see where you're going with your eyes closed
D#
Wild-eyed, growl and smoke
G# A# Cm Dm
Return every question in the same tone
D# G#
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]
D# Fm Gm D#
A# G#
Chain Emily to the stake
D# Fm Gm D# A# Fm Gm D#
Her family's worried, she's terribly late
A# G#
C# haze rolling across the lake
Cm Dm D# G#
If we go, who's to know, dead by morning if we stay
G# A# A# A# A# G# A# A# A#
[Verse 2]
D#
C# burnt tongue, the paper unfolds
G# A# G# A# Cm
slipping it through another keyhole
D#
Slim hope of fireproof rope
G# A# Cm Dm
Kerosene off of your sweet nose
D# G#
It's a steak knife into my thigh, watching you flicker in real time, call your own kind
C# D#
now we can't turn it around
[Chorus]
A# G#
Fates, give a warm soul a break
Cm Dm D# Fm Gm D#
Just give me a life where you're nothing but mine, and that's how it will stay
A# G#
But hey, I've never been so afraid
Cm Dm D# G#
With this cold in my bones, and a child engulfed in flame
G# A# A# A# A# G# x3
G# A# A# A# A#
