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