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