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

F# B B A#m7 A#m A#m7 A#m A#m7
Do you believe in anything,

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