capo 2
Em
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
G C
Do you believe in anything?
C Bm
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Em
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
G C
where we believe in everything.
C Bm
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
C Bm
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
C Bm
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
G
What did you learn tonight?
D Em
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
Em
You are bringing on that end you do so well
C
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Em
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
G
think that will sort me?
C C Bm7 Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
and sweep me under the rug?
C
while you're beating with a book
Bm7 Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Em
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
G C C Bm7 Bm B7 Bm Bm7
and it's burning hot with love.
C Bm7 Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
C Bm7 Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
C Bm7 Bm Bm7 Bm Bm7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
G
What did you learn tonight?
D Em
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
Em
You are bringing on that end you do so well
C
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

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