[Intro]
F#m E (x2)
[Verse]
F#m E
We wipe the chaff from our hands
F#m
And the sweat off of our brows
E
We mourn the old setting sun
F#m
And our empty bank accounts
E F#m
For all the damages we've done in the service of a dream
E D
They say, baby, you'll pay dearly
[Interlude]
F#m E (x2)
[Verse]
F#m E
Oh how these roads make us old
F#m
And the sunrise makes us quake
E
We live for scant scraps of hope
F#m
Laid along the interstate
E F#m
Of all the places we'll go, we'll wind up memory and debris
E D
And I'll say, kid, you're coming with me
[Chorus]
A A/G# F#m E D E
I'll close my eyes and pretend to pray that rain never ends
A A/G# F#m E D E
But when the oceans dry up, I'll know enough is enough
D E
And I'll sing softly
[Interlude]
F#m E (x2)
[Verse]
F#m E
We'll take the last thing we know
F#m
And we'll let it run our lives
E
Serenade the devil with those songs
F#m
We've played too many times
E F#m
That just blow by and leave us numb with the thrill of our defeat
E D
I'll keep the habit if it kills me
[Chorus]
A A/G# F#m E D E
I'll close my eyes and pretend to pray that rain never ends
A A/G# F#m E D E
But when the oceans dry up, I'll know enough is enough
D E
And I'll sing softly
A A/G# F#m E
I guess I'll see you around
D E
And I'll sing softly
A A/G# F#m E D E
I guess I'll see you around, see you around
[Interlude]
D A E F#m E (x2)
[Outro]
D A
Holy ghost
E F#m E
Let us live until we're forgotten
D A
Hold me close
E F#m E
To the floors of masterless oceans
D A
Holy ghost
E F#m E
To the souls of motherless orphans
D A
Hold me close
E F#m E D
Til our histories lay still in their coffins
