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