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

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

Today's the day we dropped out
Gave up my body and bed
