[Verse 1]
F
We saw the western coast
Dm
I saw the hospital
A# C
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
F
Reports of lover's tryst
Dm
Were neither clear nor descript
A#
We kept it safe and slow
C
The quiet things that no one ever knows
[Chorus]
F
So keep the blood in your head
Dm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
A#
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
Dm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
A#
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

[Verse 2]
F
I contemplate the day we wed
Dm
Your friends are boring me to death
A# C
Your veil is ruined in the rain
F
By then it's you I can do without
Dm
There's nothing new to talk about
A#
And though our kids are blessed
C
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
[Chorus]
F
So keep the blood in your head
Dm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
A#
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
Dm
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
A#
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

And keep your feet on the ground

Gave up my body and bed
