Intro
Gm F (x2)
[Verse]
Gm F
We wipe the chaff from our hands
Gm
And the sweat off of our brows
F
We mourn the old setting sun
Gm
And our empty bank accounts
F Gm
For all the damages we've done in the service of a dream
F D#
They say, baby, you'll pay dearly
[Interlude]
Gm F (x2)
[Verse]
Gm F
Oh how these roads make us old
Gm
And the sunrise makes us quake
F
We live for scant scraps of hope
Gm
Laid along the interstate
F Gm
Of all the places we'll go, we'll wind up memory and debris
F D#
And I'll say, kid, you're coming with me
[Chorus]
A# A#/A Gm F D# F
I'll close my eyes and pretend to pray that rain never ends
A# A#/A Gm F D# F
But when the oceans dry up, I'll know enough is enough
D# F
And I'll sing softly
[Interlude]
Gm F (x2)
[Verse]
Gm F
We'll take the last thing we know
Gm
And we'll let it run our lives
F
Serenade the devil with those songs
Gm
We've played too many times
F Gm
That just blow by and leave us numb with the thrill of our defeat
F D#
I'll keep the habit if it kills me
[Chorus]
A# A#/A Gm F D# F
I'll close my eyes and pretend to pray that rain never ends
A# A#/A Gm F D# F
But when the oceans dry up, I'll know enough is enough
D# F
And I'll sing softly
A# A#/A Gm F
I guess I'll see you around
D# F
And I'll sing softly
A# A#/A Gm F D# F
I guess I'll see you around, see you around
[Interlude]
D# A# F Gm F (x2)
[Outro]
D# A#
Holy ghost
F Gm F
Let us live until we're forgotten
D# A#
Hold me close
F Gm F
To the floors of masterless oceans
D# A#
Holy ghost
F Gm F
To the souls of motherless orphans
D# A#
Hold me close
F Gm F D#
Til our histories lay still in their coffins
