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