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