[Verse 1]
A
We saw the western coast
F#m
I saw the hospital
D E
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
A
Reports of lover's tryst
F#m
Were neither clear nor descript
D
We kept it safe and slow
E
The quiet things that no one ever knows
[Chorus]
A
So keep the blood in your head
F#m
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
D
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
E
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
A
So keep the blood in your head
F#m
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
D
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
E
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

[Verse 2]
A
I contemplate the day we wed
F#m
Your friends are boring me to death
D E
Your veil is ruined in the rain
A
By then it's you I can do without
F#m
There's nothing new to talk about
D
And though our kids are blessed
E
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
[Chorus]
A
So keep the blood in your head
F#m
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
D
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
E
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
A
So keep the blood in your head
F#m
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
D
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
E
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

I lie for, only you, and I lie well, hallelu (x2)
[Chorus]
A
So keep the blood in your head
F#m
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
D
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
E
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
A
So keep the blood in your head
F#m
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
D
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
E
All for an empty hotel A
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
