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