Intro: B G# B G# E C# E C#
B G# B
the sound of fingers
G# E
scratching slow behind the wall
C# E
you tried to hold me closer so
C# B
i wouldn’t heed the call
G# B
they’re on our doorstep
G# E
peaking grinning through the blinds
C# E
we’ll never wear our skeletons right
C# B
we kept our closets locked and tight
E B
any day now
E G#
with the flame of the sun in the south
C# E C# E C#
we’ll take our paces, have it out
B G# B
the lives of others
G# E
with their short hairs entwined
C# E
they keep our eyes a-cornered with crows
C# B
they make the sirens sing and sigh
G# B
any day now
G# E
we’ll comb our grey hairs aside
C# E
we’re nervous kids who twitch in time
C# B
we’re phantom limbs that itch at night
E B
any day now
E G#
when the weight comes a tumbling down
C# B
we’ll skin our knees and beat the ground
E B
sing it so soft
E G#
clutching hope like a corner of cloth
C# E
and now i know your peaks and troughs
C# B A E
and the stains that’ll never come off
(2:21) B A E C# E C# B A E C#
E
just leave it alone
C# B
you’ll never save a sailing soul
E B
such a long face
E G#
with a pull like a body in space
C# B
the pieces falling into place
E B
then it came down
E G#
with a low, undeniable sound
C# E
we’ll go down easy, paint the town
C# B
we deserve everything that we found
B
