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

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