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