Intro:
F# Bbm Abm F#
F# Bbm B F#
verse 1:
F# Bbm Abm F#
Right when the blizzard ends, they throw a fucking huge parade
F# Bbm B F#
A great excuse for celebration of the mess they've made
F# Bbm Abm F#
But then when the streets get flooded, we know what proximity's worth
F# Bbm B F#
'cause we're already here in the same place when our phones don't work
verse 2:
(same chords as verse 1)
So then we lie down in our field and just do nothing at all
And I'm getting ready for when everything is wonderful
For just a couple pairs of broken bones with broken feathers in blood
In a meadow, uncut and understood
Bridge:
Ebm Abm x8
Ebm Abm
We can be an island apart
Ebm Abm
From a ceaseless war on our heart
Ebm Abm
Harbored in a fortress insurmountable
Ebm Abm
Taller than affliction, safe wherever we are
Ebm Abm
Erasing horror and disgust
Ebm Abm
Rewinding the sorrow and the rust
Ebm Abm
Before our suffering's suffering,
E F#
Haven't we suffered enough?
verse 3:
B Ebm E B
On the morning that we're both 19 and newly on our own
B Ebm E B
And all we know is "each other" and invisible homes
B Ebm E B
We find two empty seats in the back of a car in an empty parking lot
B Ebm E B
Where all our bridges are abandoned and the cops have forgot
verse 4:
(same chords as verse 3)
And I can feel the difference when the day begins
Like all I know is, "This year will be the year we win."
We smoke the paper from the banner from our past parades
And start again, before the memory of the mess we've made.
Outro:
B Ebm E B (repeated)
