Tom: D

D
Woke up in a parking lot
                      G
Air mattresses gone flat
    Bm             A               D         G             
The sun selecting targets for the shadows to attack
    D
So make a visor with your hand
                        G
Squint at where you're from
   Bm            A                 D                    Em
A lonely line of buildings you can block out with your thumb
A           D             Bm  
Salute the ways
Em                  D  A
we tried

G   F#/G   Em   D (x2) 


[Verse 2]
D
And no one knows we're anywhere 
                      G
we're not supposed to be
    Bm               A                    D             G
So stay a while and watch the wind throw patterns on a field.
    D
This crop withstood the months of snow
               G
Scavengers and blight
       Bm          A             D              Em
Tuned every year towards a tiny lengthening of light
A       D           Bm
Found a way
Em           D  A
 to rise

[bridge]
G   F#/G   Em   D   (x2) 

     
   Bm         A        D      G
We know this world is good enough 
  Bm        A      D          G
because it has to be
 Bm         A        D        G
Allow the hope that we will meet
G                         D
again out in the winter wheat


Bm    A    D    G    (x3)

G                           D
Find me in the winter wheat
