capo 2
Dm
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
F A#
Do you believe in anything?
A# Am
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Dm
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
F A#
where we believe in everything.
A# Am
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
A# Am
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
A# Am
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
F
What did you learn tonight?
C Dm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
A# F
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
C
You are freezing over hell
Dm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
A#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Dm
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
F
think that will sort me?
A# A# Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7
and sweep me under the rug?
A#
while you're beating with a book
Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Dm
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
F A# A# Am7 Am A7 Am Am7
and it's burning hot with love.
A# Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
A# Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
A# Am7 Am Am7 Am Am7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
F
What did you learn tonight?
C Dm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
A# F
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
C
You are freezing over hell
Dm
You are bringing on that end you do so well
A#
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

Chorus:

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