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