Intro:
A augmentedA D MajorD (x4)
Verse:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
I spring awake and the flames lick at my heels
A augmentedA D MajorD
I fall and freeze in sentiments I’ve grappled with for years, like
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
How I’ll give up everything for what I love to do
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
And how it all means nothing if it wasn’t all for you, old friend
F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA
I slam my fucking head into the wall again
Chorus:
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
Before you go, promise you’ll commit my bones
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
To the salty sand and stone on the Gulf of Mexico
A/G# F# minorF#m D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
And when the tide rises to baptize the shore
D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA
Let the wind take me home via Albuquerque low.

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
We sat and smoked on a speeding midnight train

I arrived and mourned the fact that she would come and go again
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA
Hung up on the cities that we both wanted to leave
F# minorF#m E MajorE D MajorD A augmentedA E MajorE
Speaking slow and somber like we liked the taste of air between our teeth

We watched the sun come up and faced reality
