Intro: Drumbeats
Verse 1:
F Dm
Let's call this the quiet city
Where screams are felt
Bb
as a wave of stoplights
C
Drive through the streets as
F
gunshots punctuate the night
Dm
The sides we take divide
Bb
us from our faith
C
And the morning dove gets
Dm
caught in the telephone wire
F Dm
Asleep you set the fire
Bb C Dm F
in your own house
And the night was
Dm Bb
a knife that cut
C
And I'm para--
Chorus 1:
Dm
--lyzed
Bb Dm
Cross out the eyes
Bb Dm
Blur all the lines
Bb C
Tearing this canvas
Dm
from the wall
Bb Dm
We crossed out the eyes
Bb Dm
Put lines through these cries
Bb C
We pulled all the leaves
Dm
from the trees that fall
(your trees that fall
your trees that fall
your trees that fall
your trees that fall)
Verse 2:
F
A silent dance that we
Dm Bb
did into this hospital bed
Dm
Hear voices from another room
F
"It happens all the time"
Dm
but you leave in the sand
Bb
the leaves fallen
C
counting down days to live
Drain the blood
F Bb
from this valentine!
Dm
"We can rise on the
Bb
wings of the dove
Dm
See blue skies getting caught
F Bb
in the trail of all this smoke
Dm
We can rise like candles in
Bb
the dark-yours always"
C
and an envelope marked with
Dm
your new address
F Dm
Asleep you set the fire
Bb C Dm F
in your own house
And the night was
Dm Bb
a knife that cut
C
And I'm para--
Chorus 2:
Dm
--lyzed
Bb Dm
Cross out the eyes
Bb Dm
Blur all the lines
Bb C
Tearing this canvas
Dm
from the wall
Bb Dm
We crossed out the eyes
Bb Dm
Put lines through these cries
Bb C
We pulled all the leaves
Dm
from the trees that fall
Bridge:
Bb
(Cross out the eyes!)
(Blur all the lines!)
C
(Cries!)
(Repeat)
Dm(hold)
Interlude:
Am
your cries!!
Verse 3:
Am
It was the first
time face to face
I'm crossing the line
Talking to the other
side of death
Hearing the words that choke
memories into flatlines
I'm calling your name
hoping for something
to wash these dreams
of you away
Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb C--
(till we die!)
Dm Bb Dm Bb Dm Bb C--
(memories in flatlines!)
Chorus 3:
Dm Bb Dm
Cross out the eyes when
Bb Dm Bb C
you said all these lies
Dm Bb Dm
Cross out the eyes when
Bb Dm Bb C Gm
you said all these lies
Outro:
F
Fence was blown down in a
Gm
winter storm and this field
(cross out the eyes!)
Dm
Stretches out of this
Gm
world into the sound
(A trace of!)
F
What can we do put a stop to
Gm
the coming white days
(In a love song!)
Dm
I'm hoping for something to wash
C(hold)
these dreams of you away
(Stretches out of this world
Lets drive back the dead
Stretches out of this world
Stretches out of this world)
