Em Gilbert works alone, late into the night FCF Dangling from a freeway overpass Em He’s welding rebar and sculpting concrete FCF They’re paving in the gap way out west DmAm Off in the distance the sleeping city shines FCF Raises his mask to take a look DmAm Slips from the perch still holding onto his torch FCF I see him falling just like a burning star
EmCAmF Out of control mmmmmm mmmmmm EmCAmF And heading way of course mmmmmmm mmmmmm
EmFC Waking up confused in a bed of thorn FEm And a world turn upside down Em No questionasked no party ever surched FCF Like a blip Gilbert slips into the void DmAm A rustle nearby and vision appears FCF Made from saquaro boots and rib Dm She takes ahold of his prickly hand Am And together they stand
