[Verse 1]
G#
We saw the western coast
Fm
I saw the hospital
C# D#
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
G#
Reports of lover's tryst
Fm
Were neither clear nor descript
C#
We kept it safe and slow
D#
The quiet things that no one ever knows
[Chorus]
G#
So keep the blood in your head
Fm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C#
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
D#
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
G#
So keep the blood in your head
Fm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C#
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
D#
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
| G# |
[Verse 2]
G#
I contemplate the day we wed
Fm
Your friends are boring me to death
C# D#
Your veil is ruined in the rain
G#
By then it's you I can do without
Fm
There's nothing new to talk about
C#
And though our kids are blessed
D#
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
[Chorus]
G#
So keep the blood in your head
Fm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C#
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
D#
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
G#
So keep the blood in your head
Fm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C#
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
D#
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

[Chorus]
G#
So keep the blood in your head
Fm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C#
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
D#
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
G#
So keep the blood in your head
Fm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C#
Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
D#
All for an empty hotel G#
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
