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
Dm F C
wait at the winter’s edge
Fbm Dm
where we’ll meet again
F C Fbm
and we’ll see our old lives come true
Dm F C
fingers on fragile times
Fbm Dm
till we lose our minds
F C Fbm
and we break the bonds that keep you in line
Dm Fbm 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 F#
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
Dm F C
wait at the winter’s edge
Fbm Dm
where you’ll understand
F C Fbm
there’s a freezing soul who needs you
Dm F C
sing me a slow sad song
Fbm Dm
till my hearing’s gone
F C Fbm
and we'll break the ties that lead you
Dm F C
screaming i had no choice
Fbm Dm
till i lose my voice
F C Fbm A#
and the sound of thunder bleeds through the noise
C A# C A# C A# C A
