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