[Verse 1]
G C
Rolling cables slick with beer to hang up on the broken
G C
Stands the houselights lit our injuries for crowds with plastic cups that
G C
Clapped beneath our tender sleepy brooms and boom boom boom
G C
Boom went absent cases down the stairs into the parking lot out
G C
Back a burst of moon a blast of air an understanding somewhere
[Verse 2]
Am C
Between the turning signal clicks
G D
The shiny food we found with gasoline
Am C
The daily prayers of set lists tender jokes about
G D C
Retards and crashes and queers
[Outro]
Am C Em G C
I lost the chiming ring of keys to everything
Am C Em G C
I lost the chiming ring of keys to everything
Am C
I lost the chiming ring of keys to everything
Am C G
Safe and safely locked away back home
Am C G
Safe and safely locked away back home
