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