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