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