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