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

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

NC C#m G# A
Let a tornado tear through
NC Bm F# G
Let it tear straight through our roof
Am E F

And let the rain pour in
Am E F

I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
Am E F

We'll leave the house in ruins
Am E F Am E F
If we escape right now, we just might make it out
[Chorus]
