F#                  Db
Dead in the sun and covered in glue
            B                  F#
There is a town where nothing moves
        F#               Db
Nobody works and nobody plays
                  B                  F#
And all of their dreams have melted away
              B                   F#
All of their hopes have come and gone
           B                  F#
Even the vultures have moved on
            B              Db
They say a hero's coming soon
            F#         B         Db
With ivory lungs like huge balloons

                F#                      Db
There ain't no moon and there ain't no stars
          B               F#
Over the land of endless scars
            F#               Db
Covered in brown and coming undone
             B             F#
We are what we will not become
         B            F#
Only a rundown rusty still
                B                F#
Runs through a town that has no will
                B             Db
But they say a hero's coming soon
                F#     B     Db
He's coming to take a giant breath of air
 Db
Into his lungs and blow away the sun


[Chorus]

         F#                          Db
I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
           B                               Db
Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
             F#                         Db
To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
            B                                Db
Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
            F#                             Db
And if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
               B                              Db
'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
             F#                              Db
I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
             B                             Db          F#
I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun

[Verse]

                F#                       Db
There ain't no heat and there ain't no light
          B                F#
Only the black hole of our eyes
              F#           Db
Caught in an overcrowded room
                 B           F#
Waiting for its set and two moves
                B                  F#
But out in the distance there's a glow
             B              F#
That nobody sees so nobody knows
                 B             Db
Well they say a hero's coming soon
                F#     B     Db
He's coming to take a giant breath of air
 Db
Into his lungs and blow away the sun


[Chorus]

         F#                          Db
I saw a vulture swarming up above a dying crowd
           B                               Db
Above the villains and the heroes and the down-and-out
             F#                          Db
To snag the carrion and leeches and to stake their claim
            B                                Db
Before the darkness has a chance to wash it all away
               F#                             Db
'Cause if the evening ever comes maybe it'll set things right
               B                              Db
'Cause in the dark even the blind can feel a speck of light
             F#                              Db
I'm looking for a sign to show but it don't ever come
             B                             Db        F#
I'm waiting for the dark to fall and wash away the sun
