capo 2
Gm
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
A# D#
Do you believe in anything?
D# Dm
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Gm
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
A# D#
where we believe in everything.
D# Dm
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
D# Dm
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
D# Dm
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
A#
What did you learn tonight?
F Gm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
D# A#
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
F
You are freezing over hell
Gm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
D#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Gm
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
A#
think that will sort me?
D# D# Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm Dm7
and sweep me under the rug?
D#
while you're beating with a book
Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm Dm7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Gm
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
A# D# D# Dm7 Dm D7 Dm Dm7
and it's burning hot with love.
D# Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm Dm7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
D# Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm Dm7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
D# Dm7 Dm Dm7 Dm Dm7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
A#
What did you learn tonight?
F Gm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
D# A#
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
F
You are freezing over hell
Gm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
D#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

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