Intro: F D F D A# G A# G
F D F
the sound of fingers
D A#
scratching slow behind the wall
G A#
you tried to hold me closer so
G F
i wouldn’t heed the call
D F
they’re on our doorstep
D A#
peaking grinning through the blinds
G A#
we’ll never wear our skeletons right
G F
we kept our closets locked and tight
A# F
any day now
A# D
with the flame of the sun in the south
G A# G A# G
we’ll take our paces, have it out
F D F
the lives of others
D A#
with their short hairs entwined
G A#
they keep our eyes a-cornered with crows
G F
they make the sirens sing and sigh
D F
any day now
D A#
we’ll comb our grey hairs aside
G A#
we’re nervous kids who twitch in time
G F
we’re phantom limbs that itch at night
A# F
any day now
A# D
when the weight comes a tumbling down
G F
we’ll skin our knees and beat the ground
A# F
sing it so soft
A# D
clutching hope like a corner of cloth
G A#
and now i know your peaks and troughs
G F D# A#
and the stains that’ll never come off
(2:21) F D# A# G A# G F D# A# G
A#
just leave it alone
G F
you’ll never save a sailing soul
A# F
such a long face
A# D
with a pull like a body in space
G F
the pieces falling into place
A# F
then it came down
A# D
with a low, undeniable sound
G A#
we’ll go down easy, paint the town
G F
we deserve everything that we found
F
(3:20) F A# F A# F A# F A# until end on A
