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

I lie for, only you, and I lie well, hallelu (x2)

I lie for, only you, and I lie well, hallelu (x2)
[Chorus]
E
So keep the blood in your head
C#m
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
B
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
E
So keep the blood in your head
C#m
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
B
All for an empty hotel E
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
