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