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

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