capo 2
Fm
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
G# C#
Do you believe in anything?
C# Cm
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Fm
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
G# C#
where we believe in everything.
C# Cm
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
C# Cm
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
C# Cm
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
G#
What did you learn tonight?
D# Fm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
C# G#
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
D#
You are freezing over hell
Fm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
C#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Fm
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
G#
think that will sort me?
C# C# Cm7 Cm Cm7 Cm Cm7
and sweep me under the rug?
C#
while you're beating with a book
Cm7 Cm Cm7 Cm Cm7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Fm
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
G# C# C# Cm7 Cm C7 Cm Cm7
and it's burning hot with love.
C# Cm7 Cm Cm7 Cm Cm7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
C# Cm7 Cm Cm7 Cm Cm7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
C# Cm7 Cm Cm7 Cm Cm7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
G#
What did you learn tonight?
D# Fm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
C# G#
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
D#
You are freezing over hell
Fm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
C#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

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