C Am F G x2
Verse 1:
C
We saw the western coast
F
I saw the hospital
Am F
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
C
Reports of lover's tryst
F
Were neither clear nor descript
Am
We kept it safe and slow
F
The quiet things that no one ever knows
Chorus: x2
C
So keep the blood in your head
Am
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
F
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
G
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
Verse 2:
C
I contemplate the day we wed
F
Your friends are boring me to death
Am F
Your veil is ruined in the rain
C
By then it's you I can do without
F
There's nothing new to talk about
Am
And though our kids are blessed
F
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
Chorus: x2
C
So keep the blood in your head
Am
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
F
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
G
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
