Intro: F#
F#
in the cold light of dawn
C# G#
awoke in an empty room
F#
where everything found was lost
C# G#
like a loose tooth, like a teaspoon
F#
someone stole all the clocks
C# G#
now we can’t tell the time
F#
i noticed you staring up
C#
at the night sky, at the night
G# F#
but all i see is strange
G#
as dark dissolves into day
F#
and the curtain falls
G#
on the primal scene
F#
but all you feel is breath
G#
playing scales on your neck
F#
from the crooked song
G#
in a minor key
Ebm F# C#
wait at the winter’s edge
Fm Ebm
where we’ll meet again
F# C# Fm
and we’ll see our old lives come true
Ebm F# C#
fingers on fragile times
Fm Ebm
till we lose our minds
F# C# Fm
and we break the bonds that keep you in line
Ebm Fm F# C#
F#
someone excites your nerves
C# G#
defuses your every mine
F#
someone’s been throwing rocks
C# G#
at the beehive, at the beehive
F#
someone tampered with our brakes
C# G#
someone glued up the locks
F#
we were weaving in and out of lanes
C#
coming full stop
G#
on the blacktop
F#
when the pressure dropped
oooooh
C#
oooooh
F#
oooooh
C#
oooooh
F#
someone broke all the beds
C# G
now we don’t need to rest
F#
our glowing bodies never sleep
C#
and we can’t leave this mess
G# F#
but all we do is stand
G#
with heavy heads in the sand
F# G#
cause the day is long, and the light recedes
F#
but all i ask is please
G#
be strong and right, emily
F# G#
and i’ll play along, long as you need
Ebm F# C#
wait at the winter’s edge
Fm Ebm
where you’ll understand
F# C# Fm
there’s a freezing soul who needs you
Ebm F# C#
sing me a slow sad song
Fm Ebm
till my hearing’s gone
F# C# Fm
and we'll break the ties that lead you
Ebm F# C#
screaming i had no choice
Fm Ebm
till i lose my voice
F# C# Fm B
and the sound of thunder bleeds through the noise
C# B C# B C# B C# A
