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