Intro
A#m C# F# (x2)
[Verse 1]
A#m C# F#
I lay around this stillborn Sunday
A#m C# F#
the nameless, graceless wreck you leave in me
A#m C# F#
I stood silent at your waking theater,
A#m C# F#
Deluded and grotesque, I hemorrhage history
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m
But I won't be visited again
C# G# F#
By the ghosts of things that never came to be
C# G# A#m
I won't let my heart settle in
C# G#
To the fallow soil that sprawls out
A#m F# G# C#
From the fringes of the swaying Salton Sea
[Interlude]
C# A#m (x2)
[Verse 2]
A#m C# F#
We let their hurried beat busy our bones
A#m C# F#
But our tempo tempered hearts are always idle
A#m C# F#
We drink the water from their fountain
C# A#m F# G#
This place could never be the things that we both need
C# A#m F# G#
No, this place could never be the things that we both need
[Verse 3]
F# A#m G#
And I want the things that I can't have
F# A#m G#
And I need to find a new way out
C# G# F#
And I will crawl out from the wreckage of my past
C# G#
And we'll fall head first and weary of
A#m F# G#
The place we've hung our hats for all these years
A#m G#
Wait for the night, we'll disappear
[Chorus]
C# G# A#m
But I won't be visited again
C# G# F#
By the ghosts of things that never came to be
C# G# A#m
I won't let my heart settle in
C# G#
To the fallow soil that sprawls out
A#m F# G# C#
From the fringes of the swaying Salton Sea
