A#m
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
C# F#
Do you believe in anything?
F# Fm
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
A#m
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
C# F#
where we believe in everything.
F# Fm
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
F# Fm
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
F# Fm
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
C#
What did you learn tonight?
G# A#m
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
F# C#
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
G#
You are freezing over hell
A#m
You are bringing on that end you do so well
F#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
A#m
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
C#
think that will sort me?
F# F# Fm7 Fm Fm7 Fm Fm7
and sweep me under the rug?
F#
while you're beating with a book
Fm7 Fm Fm7 Fm Fm7
everyone that book tells you to love.
A#m
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
C# F# F# Fm7 Fm F7 Fm Fm7
and it's burning hot with love.
F# Fm7 Fm Fm7 Fm Fm7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
F# Fm7 Fm Fm7 Fm Fm7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
F# Fm7 Fm Fm7 Fm Fm7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
C#
What did you learn tonight?
G# A#m
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
F# C#
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
G#
You are freezing over hell
A#m
You are bringing on that end you do so well
F#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

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