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