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

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