Verse 1:
      A augmentedA
After the earthquake
         G+G
Pictures hanging diagonally
              A augmentedA
Drive through crying in a milkshake
          G+G
It wasn’t built to last

Verse 2:
      A augmentedA
Up in the front seat
              G+G
You were playing with the station
             A augmentedA
And I was fidgeting with the heat
           D MajorD        G+G      E minorEm
Looking back to the vibrant days of racket in the hall


Chorus:
 D MajorD       A augmentedA
Caution to the breeze
           E minorEm        D MajorD    A augmentedA
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now-ow
        E minorEm
Velvet curtain drawn
 D MajorD       A augmentedA
Flowers at your feet
          C majorC        G+G     A augmentedA
Say you’ll contemplate how you’re weighed down


Instrumental:
E minorEm | D MajorD | A augmentedA | A augmentedA |
E minorEm | D MajorD | A augmentedA | A augmentedA |

Verse 3:
          A augmentedA             G+G
The pulse of the brakelight is the colour of burning embers
              A augmentedA
If you wake up, will you remember
           G+G
The awful things I said at the edge of the bed?


Verse 4:
          A augmentedA
Thrashing like a great white
                    G+G
     As they rolled you up on a stretcher
(I feel the  northern  tide    crashing)
                 A augmentedA
And the faint words of Jessica Fletcher
(on  the  pines)
                  D MajorD    G+G      E minorEm
     Were drowned out by the sound of racket in the hall
(I feel the  northern  tide   crashing on the pines)


Chorus:
 D MajorD      A augmentedA
Caution to the breeze
           E minorEm        D MajorD    A augmentedA
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now-ow


Bridge 1:
   Dmaj7Dmaj7            Gmaj7Gmaj7
Those days
I’d never let you fall apart
      Dmaj7Dmaj7                Gmaj7Gmaj7
But things fade like the scent of a brand new car
             Dmaj7Dmaj7
Why would I ever fall in love again
   E7E7        E minorEm    D MajorD    A augmentedA
When every detail is over the guardrail?
           E minorEm        D MajorD  A augmentedA
Say you’ll climb your way out of your wake now


Chorus:
 A augmentedA         C majorC        E minorEm   A augmentedA
Say you’ll contemplate how you’re weighed down


Post-Chorus:
          E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA
Are you awake now?
          E minorEm D MajorD A augmentedA
Are you awake now?


Outro:
       E minorEm
Racket in the hall
 D MajorD       A augmentedA
Caution to the breeze
        E minorEm
Velvet curtain drawn
 D MajorD       A augmentedA
Flowers at your feet


Outro:
E minorEm | D MajorD | A augmentedA | A augmentedA |
C majorC | G+G | A augmentedA |
