intro (continued)
G Em Cadd9 D (2x's)
VERSE 1:
G
We saw the western coast
Cadd9
I saw the hospital
Em C
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
G
Reports of lover's tryst
Cadd9 Em
Were neither clear nor descript
We kept it safe and slow
Cadd9
The quiet things that no one ever knows
Chorus: (2x's)
G
So keep the blood in your head
Em
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Cadd9
Today's the day we drop down
Gave up my body and bed
D
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
VERSE 2:
G Cadd9
I contemplate the day we wed
Em
Your friends are boring me to death
Cadd9
Your veil is ruined in the rain
G Cadd9
By then you I can do without
Em
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Cadd9
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
Chorus:
BREAKDOWN: (Palm muted, 2nd time-unpalm mute)
G Em Cadd9 D
I... lie for........ only you
G Em Cadd9
And I... lie well...
D
Hallelu... (2x's)
Chorus
