You said we'd leave next year
Fm C C#
--- ---
Each year for thirteen years
Fm C C#

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

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

NC Gm D D#
Let a tornado tear through
NC Fm C C#
Let it tear straight through our roof
D#m A# B

And let the rain pour in
D#m A# B

I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
D#m A# B

We'll leave the house in ruins
D#m A# B D#m A# B
If we escape right now, we just might make it out
[Chorus]
