Verse 1:
           C majorC                      FF            G+G
It's the season of dust trailing old pick up trucks
     E minorEm            A minorAm    DmDm            G+G
Seashells washed ashore down by the docks
         C majorC                                 FF    G+G
So baby pull on your blue jeans turn the radio loud
       A minorAm           FF             G+G        C majorC    FF  C majorC
Don't wait for the hour to give birth to doubt

Verse 2:
        C majorC                               FF         G+G
In the peak harvest of snakebites and wasted hindsight
         E minorEm    A minorAm            DmDm        G+G
When trivial truths sit next to the taillights
        C majorC                    FF         G+G
When fenders of chrome they rattle and hum
      A minorAm           FF        G+G   C majorC   FF  C majorC
All carved in the shape of freedom


Verse 3:
         C majorC                        FF        G+G
Those flea market stalls in the bone dry noon
   E minorEm            A minorAm           DmDm         G+G
Despite pretty signs, look cursed and marooned
      C majorC                     FF              G+G
And trumpet notes wailing from the candy store
       A minorAm       FF        G+G       C majorC   FF  C majorC
Like a work of art of uneasy rapport


Verse 4:
        C majorC                       FF     G+G
The wreckage, the blunder, the tarot read
E minorEm             A minorAm            DmDm           G+G
In the heat blurry air we're down in the field
               C majorC                FF   G+G
Where to the choir of cicadas' jubilee
A minorAm           FF            G+G      C majorC   FF  C majorC
Among the clouds we once fell asleep

Verse 5:
      C majorC                              FF         G+G
The sirens of the shipyard by those derelict whales
E minorEm            A minorAm      DmDm       G+G
Old mothers singing rusty old tales
 C majorC                     FF          G+G
Like revving engines keening sky high
      A minorAm       FF       G+G    C majorC   FF  C majorC
Yet theirs is never a war cry


Verse 6:

     C majorC                       FF          G+G
So I'll be your lover now, brazen and bright
           E minorEm        A minorAm          DmDm          G+G
Like the flare of a match you struck in the night
        C majorC                            FF        G+G
Though what does a stray know about holy and true
           A minorAm    FF            G+G  C majorC   FF  C majorC
But I'll always come to your rescue

Coda:
    DmDm                         C majorC      FF
Oh lord won't you hear your children cry
   BB             FF         BB         FF
Singing their praise and their hallelujahs
   DmDm            C majorC          FF
I have no more words to describe
    BB     FF   C majorC         FF
An empty sky of hollow blue, yeah
     DmDm                   C majorC    FF
So where is my lover, my firelight
     BB            FF       BB         FF
The line on the edge of truth and rumour
DmDm                       C majorC            FF
We took our vows in the heart of the night
           C majorC          FF                   C majorC          BB
We were brazen and bright, when we were brazen and bright
