The time has come for colds and overcoats.
F#/C#
We're quiet on the ride,
G#7 A#m
we're all just waiting to get home.
F7 C#
Another week away, my greatest fear.
F#/C#
I need the smell of summer,
G#7 A#m
I need its noises in my ears.
F7
If looks could really kill,
C#
then my profession would be staring.
F#/C# G#7
Know we do this cause we care,
A#m
not for the thrill.
F7
Collect calls to home
C#
tell them that I realize
F#/C# G#7
that everyone who lives will someday die
C#5
and die alone.

F#5
And we won't let you in.

Though we're down and out.

No we won't let you in.

[Verse 2]
A#m F7
I wrote more postcards than hooks.
C#
I read more maps than books.
F#/C#
Feel like every chance to leave
G#7 A#m
is another chance I should have took.
F7
Every minute is a mile.
C#
I've never felt so hollow.
F#/C# G#7
I'm an old abandoned church with broken pews
A#m
and empty aisles.
F7
My secrets for a buck.
C#
Watch me as I cut myself wide open
F#/C# G#7
on this stage. Yes, I am paid
A#m F7
to spill my guts. Won't see home till spring.
C#
Oh, I would kill for the Atlantic,
F#/C# G#7
but I am paid to make girls panic
while I sing.
[Chorus 2]
C#5 F#5
And we won't let you in.
G#5
Though we're down and out.
C#5
No we won't let you in.

And we won't let you in.

We don't want what isn't ours.
A#m F7
We won't let you in.
A#m F7 A#m F7 A#m
You win, you win, you win.
[Bridge]
C# A#m
And the coastline is quiet.
F7
While we're quietly losing control.
And we're silent but sure
G#7
we inventened the cure
that will wash out my memories of her.
A#m F7
"The harpoon is loaded. The cage is lowered.
G#7
The water is red."

Like you, like you.
