[Intro]
Bm G D A (x4)
[Verse 1]
Bm G D A
You were dancing in your tube socks, In a hotel room
Bm G D A
Flashing those eyes, like highway signs
Bm G D A
Light one up and hand it over, Rest your head up on my shoulder.
Bm G D A
Just wanna feel your lips against my, skin.
Bm G
Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so,
D A
You said your mother only smiled on her TV show,
Bm G
You’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope,
D A
I hope you make it to the day you’re twenty-eight years old,
Bm G D A
I found God, I found him in a lover,
Bm G D A
When his hair falls in his face, with his hands so cold they shake,
Bm G D A
I found the devil, I found him in a lover,
Bm G D A
With his lips like tangerines, and his color-coded speak, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G D A
White sheets, bright lights, crooked teeth in the, night life
Bm G D A
You told me this is right where it begins,
Bm G D A
But your lips hang heavy, underneath me,
Bm G D A
And I promised myself, I wouldn’t let you, complete me.
Bm G
You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise.
D A
You’re spilling like an overflowing sink,
Bm G
You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece,
D A
And now I’m tearing through the pages and the ink,
Bm G
Now we’re lost somewhere in outer space,
D A
In a hotel room where demons play,
Bm G
They run around beneath our feet,
D A
We roll around beneath these sheets,
[Chorus]
Bm G
I’m trying not to let it show, that I don’t wanna let this go,
D A
Is there somewhere you can meet me?
Bm G D A
Cuz I clutched your arms, like stairway, railings
Bm G D A
And you clutched my brain, and eased my ailings.
Bm G
Everything is blue, his pills, his hair, his jeans,
D A
And now I’m covered in the colors, pulled apart at the seams,
Bm G G A
And it’s blue, and it’s blue.
Bm G
Everything is grey, his hands, his smoke, his dreams,
D A
And now he’s so devoid of color he don’t know what it means,
Bm G D A
And it’s blue, and it’s blue.
Bm G
I’ve got a lover I love like religion,
D A
I’m such a fool to pay his price,
Bm G
It’s coming down down, coming down,
D A
It’s coming down down, coming down.
Bm G
I’ve got a lover and I’m unforgiven,
D A
I’m such a fool for sacrifice,
Bm G
It’s coming down down, coming down,
D A
It’s coming down down, coming down.
[Post-Chorus]
Bm G D A
I didn’t mean to fall in love tonight.
Bm G D A
I’m sorry but I fell in love tonight.
Bm G D A
You’re lookin’ like you fell in love tonight.
Bm G D A
Could we pretend that we’re in love?
[Verse 2]
Bm G
You were a vision in the morning when the light came through,
D A
I know I’ve only felt religion when I’ve lied with you,
Bm G
You said “you’ll never be forgiven til your boys are too”,
D A
And I’m still waking every morning but it’s not with you.
Bm
You’re writing lines about me,
G D A
Romantic poetry,
Bm
Your girl’s got red in her cheeks,
G D A
Cuz we’re something she can’t see.
Bm G
And I try to refrain,
D A
But you’re stuck in my brain,
Bm G
Now all I do is cry and complain,
N.C.
Because second’s not the same.
[Instrumental]
Bm G D A (x2)
[Verse 3]
Bm G
I found a martyr,
D A
He told me that I never-
Bm G
With his educated eyes,
D A
And his head between my thighs.
Bm G
I found a saviour.
D A
I don’t think he remembers.
Bm G
Cuz he’s off to pay his crimes,
D A
But he’s got no time for mine.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm G D A
White sheets, bright lights, crooked teeth in the, night life
Bm G D A
You told me this is right where it begins,
Bm G D A
But your lips hang heavy, underneath me,
Bm G D A
And I promised myself, I wouldn’t let you, complete me.
Bm G
You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise.
D A
You’re spilling like an overflowing sink,
Bm G
You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece,
D A
And now I’m tearing through the pages and the ink,
Bm G
Now we’re lost somewhere in outer space,

In a hotel room where demons play,

It’s coming down down, coming down.

Bm G
It’s coming down down, coming down,
D A
It’s coming down down, coming down.
[Outro]
(Slower)
Bm G
It’s coming down down, coming down,
D A
It’s coming down down, coming down.
