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