[Intro]
Am E C E Am E C E Am
[Verse 1]
E C E Am E C
I met a face with ring rounded pocket eyes
E Am E C
That shaped folded banks inside,
E Am E C E
As he shivered out thoughts.
Am E C E
They went: "golden and pale, wind whispers, breathe New Orleans",
Am E Am
Through basements and racetracks met hollowed out from stretching mouths.
Am
E C E
All these thoughts were rolled onto needles,
Am E C E
That spilled from heads, tumble like apples,
Am E C E
Fell into the sky, that’s where they hide,
Am E
Where rubies turned diamonds.
C E Am E
Like textures, like sunshine,
C E Am E
Behind hands arms lift into its own.
Am
Behind hands arms lift into its own.
[Chorus]
Am Dm G Am
As the stadium sheds out the crowd into the streets,
Dm G
And out of their throats pours, tongues licking down,
Am
"What will we become?"
E* Am

[Verse 2]
Am E C E
Rhythms fed gently in vacuums perspired
Am E
Will stay where it's warm,
C E Am E C E
Where it's safe from the down beating drums.
Am E C E Am E
They went: "golden and pale, wind whispers, breathe New Orleans",
C E Am E
Behind hands arms lift into its own.
Am
Behind hands arms lift into its own.
[Bridge]
Am Dm G Am* C* Em* Am*
Am Dm G Am* C* Em* Am*
Am Dm
As habits pull the sleep out,
G Am
Covered in the sheets that harbor rest and sunshine.
Dm
As habits pull the sleep out,
G Am
Covered in the sheets that harbor rest and sunshine.
[Chorus]
Dm G Am
As the stadium sheds out the crowd into the streets,
Dm G
And out of their throats pours, tongues licking down,
Am
"What will we become?"

[Outro]
C* Em* Am
Into its own.
C* Em* Am
Into its own.
C* Em* Am
Into its own.
