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

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