Intro: E
E
in the cold light of dawn
B F#
awoke in an empty room
E
where everything found was lost
B F#
like a loose tooth, like a teaspoon
E
someone stole all the clocks
B F#
now we can't tell the time
E
i noticed you staring up
B
at the night sky, at the night
F# E
but all i see is strange
F#
as dark dissolves into day
E
and the curtain falls
F#
on the primal scene
E
but all you feel is breath
F#
playing scales on your neck
E
from the crooked song
F#
in a minor key
Dbm E B
wait at the winter's edge
Ebm Dbm
where we'll meet again
E B Ebm
and we'll see our old lives come true
Dbm E B
fingers on fragile times
Ebm Dbm
till we lose our minds
E B Ebm
and we break the bonds that keep you in line
Dbm Ebm E B
E
someone excites your nerves
B F#
defuses your every mine
E
someone's been throwing rocks
B F#
at the beehive, at the beehive
E
someone tampered with our brakes
B F#
someone glued up the locks
E
we were weaving in and out of lanes
B
coming full stop
F#
on the blacktop
E
when the pressure dropped
ooooohB
oooooh
E
oooooh
B
oooooh
E
someone broke all the beds
B F
now we don't need to rest
E
our glowing bodies never sleep
B
and we can't leave this mess
F# E
but all we do is stand
F#
with heavy heads in the sand
E F#
cause the day is long, and the light recedes
E
but all i ask is please
F#
be strong and right, emily
E F#
and i'll play along, long as you need
Dbm E B
wait at the winter's edge
Ebm Dbm
where you'll understand
E B Ebm
there's a freezing soul who needs you
Dbm E B
sing me a slow sad song
Ebm Dbm
till my hearing's gone
E B Ebm
and we'll break the ties that lead you
Dbm E B
screaming i had no choice
Ebm Dbm
till i lose my voice
E B Ebm A
and the sound of thunder bleeds through the noise
B A B A B A B A
