[Verse 1]
C F G
It's the season of dust trailing old pick up trucks
Em Am Dm G
Seashells washed ashore down by the docks
C F G
So baby pull on your blue jeans turn the radio loud
Am F G C F C
Don`t wait for the hour to give birth to doubt
[Verse 2]
C F G
In the peak harvest of snakebites and wasted hindsight
Em Am Dm G
When trivial truths sit next to the taillights
C F G
When fenders of chrome they rattle and hum
Am F G C F C
All carved in the shape of freedom
[Verse 3]
C F G
Those flea market stalls in the bone dry noon
Em Am Dm G
Despite pretty signs, look cursed and marooned
C F G
And trumpet notes wailing from the candy store
Am F G C F C
Like a work of art of uneasy rapport
[Verse 4]
C F G
The wreckage, the blunder, the tarot read
Em Am Dm G
In the heat blurry air we're down in the field
C F G
Where to the choir of cicadas' jubilee
Am F G C F C
Among the clouds we once fell asleep
[Verse 5]
C F G
The sirens of the shipyard by those derelict whales
Em Am Dm G
Old mothers singing rusty old tales
C F G
Like revving engines keening sky high
Am F G C F C
Yet theirs is never a war cry
[Verse 6]
C F G
So I'll be your lover now, brazen and bright
Em Am Dm G
Like the flare of a match you struck in the night
C F G
Though what does a stray know about holy and true
Am F G C Csus4 C
But I'll always come to your rescue
[Coda]
Bb/D C F
Oh Lord won't you hear your children cry
Bb F Bb F
Singing their praise and their hallelujahs
Bb/D C F
I have no more words to describe
Bb F C F
An empty sky of hollow blue, yeah
Bb/D C F
So where is my lover, my firelight
Bb F Bb F
The line on the edge of truth and rumour
Bb/D C F
We took our vows in the heart of the night
C F C Bb Bbadd9 Bb F
We were brazen and bright, when we were brazen and bright
