capo 2
Bm
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
D G
Do you believe in anything?
G F#m
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Bm
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
D G
where we believe in everything.
G F#m
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
G F#m
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
G F#m
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
D
What did you learn tonight?
A Bm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
G D
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
A
You are freezing over hell
Bm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
G
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Bm
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
D
think that will sort me?
G G F#m7 F#m F#m7 F#m F#m7
and sweep me under the rug?
G
while you're beating with a book
F#m7 F#m F#m7 F#m F#m7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Bm
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
D G G F#m7 F#m F#7 F#m F#m7
and it's burning hot with love.
G F#m7 F#m F#m7 F#m F#m7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
G F#m7 F#m F#m7 F#m F#m7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
G F#m7 F#m F#m7 F#m F#m7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
D
What did you learn tonight?
A Bm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
G D
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
A
You are freezing over hell
Bm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
G
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

Chorus:
D A Bm G
D A Bm G
D
Feels like,
We could escape this.
A
And I might,
Throw it away,
Bm G
In fear of the silver sun.
D
If you try,
A
running a maze of your lies,
Your to hard to save,
Bm
If you've,
Thrown out,
G
Everyone.
