Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G C
The north wind sinks the fence around a lot full of debris
G C
Near the corner of Memorial and me
G C
Where resurrected brick and drywall lean back into place
G C
There's a terrified reflection of my face
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G5 G/F# G C
All alone at the gleaming knife display in the army surplus sales
G D/F#
As the dusk descends and my inspiration fails
[Chorus 1]
G/B G/C G/A G/B G/A Em
Ghost-filled discount parkas, sleeping bags
D/F# G
Peer at me from the crumpled dark
[Verse 2]
G C
Inky bruises punched into the sky by bolts of light
G C
And then leak across the body of tonight
G C
While rain and thunder drop and roll then stop short of a storm
G C
Leave the air stuck with this waiting to be born
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G5 G/F# G C
As I stand before an unresponsive automatic door
G D/F#
Just another door that won't open for me anymore
[Chorus 2]
G/B G/C G/A G/B G/A Em
The exit red gets brighter then blinks off
D/F# G
Presses me into the crumpled dark
[Interlude]

There's a billboard by the highway

That says welcome to, bienvenue à
G/B G/A A7
But no sign to show you when you go away
[Chorus 3]
G/B G/C G/A G/B G/A
And our demolitions punctuate
G/B G/C G/A G/B G/A
All we mean to save then leave too late
G/B G/C G/A G/B G/A Em
So I make my shaky exclama---tion mark
D/F# G
With a handful of the crumpled dark
