(muted)--- ---
You said we'd leave next year
Am E F
--- ---
Each year for thirteen years
Am E F
--- ---
Each year, it gets harder to hear
Am E F Am E F
It's getting harder now just to stay in love

Am E F
--- ---
And now our roots grow deep
Am E F
--- ---
Beneath these barren streets
Am E F
--- ---
I have the darkest dreams
Am E F
The city's pipes and wires
Am E F
Went through our nerves and veins
G Am F E E F E
And those nights, after a double shift, I feel it
G Am F
The test plans you never dared to live
E E F E
They used to light up your eyes
E E F E Am E F
Those bulbs have long burned out

NC Bm F# G
Let a tornado tear through
NC Am E F
Let it tear straight through our roof
Gm D D#

And let the rain pour in
Gm D D#

I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
Gm D D#

We'll leave the house in ruins
Gm D D# Gm D D#
If we escape right now, we just might make it out
