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