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