Tom: G
Bm A Bm A
[Verse 1]
Bm A
A storm sits above the house
Bm G D A
That's why I'm out
Bm A F#m
To feel the heat of the weekend
Bm G D F#m
Dry my hands on the poisoned pipes
[Verse 2]
Bm A Bm G D F#m
Weave home through the lightning, long hands through the reckoning clouds
Bm
Reaching down
Em D A
Oh and when I die
D A Am G
Will I have to watch my life
Em D A
And make the same mistakes
D A Am G F#m
Act the same drunk disgrace
Bm A
I would like to see it backwards
Bm G D F#m
And slip back to that happy kid
[Verse 3]
Bm A
All the crap I collected
Bm G D F#m
Put it back into the weary earth
Bm G A F#m
Every anger melting
Bm G A F#m
Every scar back to perfect skin
Bm
See the bombs ascend
Am G D
See young Johnny come home
G D C
No messy dreams, no methadone
Am G D
Oh to hear the speeches fail
[Tag 1]
G D Dm C
The hatred slowly going pale
[Interlude]
Bm Em A Am
C G Bm Em
A Am C G
Bm Em
[Tag 2]
Bm D A
And feel it empty out
D A G
Every crooked truth and crippling doubt
Em D A
To watch my body curl
D A G
Into the promise of a swollen girl
Em D A
And then I'm a gasp of love
D A G
In the young, and fun and innocent
