Standard tuning
D Bm A G
D
Douse it all in gasoline
Bm A G
And set this cardboard move scene on fire
D Bm A
A dance of light reflecting off the props as they dissolve into the dust
G
That makes up everything
Bm G D A
D
I tried to leave the county once
Bm
I called up the ambulance
A G
To take me away
D Bm
But a girl I met with a smoky voice drags my heart around like the other boys
A G
So I've got no other choice but to stay
Bm G
And wait
D A
And wait
Bm G
But the time is always running out on you
D
You find it's always out on you
A
Find it's always out and you can't wait
Bm G
But the time is always running out on you
D
You find it's always out on you
A
Find it's always out and you can't wait
D
Maybe after surgery
Bm A G
remove all my hyperbole and lies
D Bm
This quiet conflagration come to take us all to heaven
A G
As it sets this sickly stage of ours on fire
Bm
But we'll ignore this quiet night
G D
And we'll ignore these city lights of fire
A
As they raise their hands towards heaven
Bm
And we'll ignore this eternity
G D
And we'll ignore these heavenly choirs
A
As they raise their hands towards heaven
Bm
And we'll ignore this quiet night
G D
And we'll ignore these city lights of fire
A
As they raise their hands towards heaven
Bm
And we'll ignore this eternity
G D
And we'll ignore these heavenly choirs
A
As they raise their hands towards heaven
Bm
You'll be holding on to me
G D A
You'll be singing quietly inside these city gates
G
As they burn away
