You said we'd leave next year
Em B C
--- ---
Each year for thirteen years
Em B C

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

Em B C

And now our roots grow deep
Em B C
--- ---
Beneath these barren streets
Em B C

I have the darkest dreams
Em B C
The city's pipes and wires
Em B C
Went through our nerves and veins
D Em C B B C B
And those nights, after a double shift, I feel it
D Em C
The test plans you never dared to live
B B C B
They used to light up your eyes
B B C B Em B C
Those bulbs have long burned out

Let a tornado tear through

Let it tear straight through our roof

And let the rain pour in

I'll scream, "Babe, this is it!"
Dm A A#

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