You said we'd leave next year
F#m C# D

Each year for thirteen years
F#m C# D

Each year, it gets harder to hear
F#m C# D F#m C# D
It's getting harder now just to stay in love

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

Let a tornado tear through
NC F#m C# D
Let it tear straight through our roof
Em B C

And let the rain pour in
Em B C

I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
Em B C

We'll leave the house in ruins
Em B C Em B C
If we escape right now, we just might make it out
[Chorus]
