Salton Sea chords by Elway

Chords with lyrics

Intro: Am, C, FF (x2)

A minorAm     C majorC        FF
I lay around this stillborn Sunday
  A minorAm          C majorC         FF
the nameless, graceless wreck you leave in me
A minorAm       C majorC        FF
I stood silent at your waking theater,
A minorAm        C majorC          FF
Deluded and grotesque, I hemorrhage history

C majorC        G+G     A minorAm
But I won't be visited again
    C majorC          G+G       FF
By the ghosts of things that never came to be
C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
I won't let my heart settle in
    C majorC         G+G
To the fallow soil that sprawls out
     A minorAm       FF   G+G    C majorC
From the fringes of the swaying Salton Sea

Break: C, A minorAm (x2)

  A minorAm        C majorC       FF
We let their hurried beat busy our bones
     A minorAm       C majorC        FF
But our tempo tempered hearts are always idle
A minorAm      C majorC        FF
We drink the water from their fountain
A minorAm        C majorC      FF          G+G
This place could never be the things that we both need
   A minorAm        C majorC      FF          G+G
No, this place could never be the things that we both need

  FF      A minorAm         G+G
And I want the things that I can't have
  FF      A minorAm      G+G
And I need to find a new way out
      C majorC         G+G       FF
And I will crawl out from the wreckage of my past
      C majorC          G+G
And we'll fall head first and weary of
  A minorAm          FF         G+G
The place we've hung our hats for all these years

A minorAm      G+G
Wait for the night, we'll disappear

C majorC        G+G     A minorAm
But I won't be visited again
    C majorC          G+G       FF
By the ghosts of things that never came to be
C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
I won't let my heart settle in
    C majorC         G+G
To the fallow soil that sprawls out
     A minorAm       FF   G+G    C majorC
From the fringes of the swaying Salton Sea
