Chords with lyrics
🎸 Intro:
D MajorD
🎸 Verse :
D MajorD
Meet me out by the fire escape
It's been forty nights and forty days
G+G
And I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
I chewed my fingers to the bone today
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD
Oh, won't you come around and meet me by the fire escape
G+G
Untie this tied tongue tie
What's it that I wanna say, what's it that I really wanna say?
What are the words I've been choking on, hoping someone will articulate?
🎸 Chorus:
D MajorD
Oh no, that's some murky water
A augmentedA
Alright, we're in the trenches now
I don't know when the party's over
G+G
All I know's I'm getting out somehow
D MajorD
Oh, what a fever dream
🎸 Verse :
D MajorD
Meet me out by the fire escape
Join the procession down the alleyway, oh
G+G
Our freedom's a joke and we've got debts to pay
How many waves until the levee breaks?
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
D MajorD
Oh, won't you come around and meet me by the fire escape
G+G
Untie this tied tongue tie
What's it that I wanna say, what's it that I really wanna say?
What are the truths we've been choking on, hoping someone will articulate?
🎸 Chorus:
D MajorD
Oh no, that's some murky water
A augmentedA
Alright, we're in the trenches now
And I don't know how the story ends
G+G
But the pages just turn over and then turn over again
🎸 Bridge:
And redemption's always outta sight and just around the bend
D MajorD
And the outcome doesn't match with what it is that I intend
Like a stack of books grows and gathers dust beside the bed
A augmentedA
Or the disconnect between what people do and what they've said
And I wanna read the news maybe without losing my head
D MajorD
Oh, what a fever dream
🎸 Interlude:
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G
🎸 Outro:
D MajorD
Meet me out by the fire escape
It's been forty nights and forty days
G+G
And I've become uncertain in a cosmic way
D MajorD
I chewed my fingers to the bone today
