Intro: G Bm C G (D)
G Bm
In one of those they say we must watch your name drop over and over again
C G D
No-one knows the reason nothing stays
G Bm
And maybe she's long gone breaking backs in too many middle states
C G D
No-one knows the difference all the way
C D
So open your lungs, they're bleeding, cover your bones, give it right back
C D
'Cause these girls are done believing, holding their breath until they collapse
G Bm
Split lips, gone swollen faces, slip down the ice on Western Avenue
C G D
And I've been to slower places, seen colder days, we can stay
G Bm
You know enough for me to trust, so crush it up, put me back together
C G D
But if you have to make us pay, what can I say? Just keep me away.
C D
Three names and one condition, count the ways to put it all back
C D
Long lines and bold predictions, holding your breath until the impact
G C Em D
And don't leave me out, keep my place under the ground for the air we're breathing
G C Em D
And don't fuck around, simple words will make the darker places less deceiving
Em Bm
Slow ~ down
C D
Talking loud to lonely faces, time can tell these days are not worth saving
Em Bm
Slow ~ down
C D
Waiting for the cold to stop still close enough to lose the thaw, waging a war on words you forgot to say

G Bm
No matter what, she's done with us, so give up, there's nothing you can say
C G D
Forget me in times like these, just get away, far away from my
G Bm
Old pain and new addiction, nothing strong, nothing left to mix with this
C G D
Just slow roads and open spaces with nothing left to fix, so please
C D
Open your lungs, they're bleeding, cover your bones, give it right back
C D
'Cause these girls are done believing, holding their breath until they collapse
C D
These girls are done believing, these girls are done believing
C D
These girls are done believing, these girls are done believing
G C Em D
And don't leave me out, keep my place under the ground for the air we're breathing
G C Em D
And don't fuck around, simple words will make the darker places less deceiving, don't leave me out
