Intro: A F# A F#  D B D B

A            F#   A
the sound of fingers
            F#              D
scratching slow behind the wall
              B             D
you tried to hold me closer so
            B        A
i wouldn’t heed the call


               F#    A
they’re on our doorstep
           F#                  D
peaking grinning through the blinds
             B                  D
we’ll never wear our skeletons right
               B                A
we kept our closets locked and tight


     D   A
any day now
           D                      F#
with the flame of the sun in the south
                 B             D  B  D  B              
we’ll take our paces, have it out


A            F#  A
the lives of others
            F#            D
with their short hairs entwined
               B                     D
they keep our eyes a-cornered with crows
                B              A
they make the sirens sing and sigh

 
    F#   A
any day now
                F#          D
we’ll comb our grey hairs aside
               B                  D
we’re nervous kids who twitch in time
               B                   A
we’re phantom limbs that itch at night


     D   A
any day now
           D                      F#
when the weight comes a tumbling down
                 B                  A
we’ll skin our knees and beat the ground
        D   A
sing it so soft
           D                      F#
clutching hope like a corner of cloth
           B                     D
and now i know your peaks and troughs
          B                        A  G  D
and the stains that’ll never come off


(2:21) A G D B D B A G D B

                D
just leave it alone
              B              A
you’ll never save a sailing soul
        D    A
such a long face
        D                    F#
with a pull like a body in space
             B            A
the pieces falling into place


          D   A
then it came down
        D               F#
with a low, undeniable sound
               B               D
we’ll go down easy, paint the town
     B                          A
we deserve everything that we found
