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