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