Verse 1:
E minorEm   E minorEm       E minorEm     E minorEm
 Under blankets these hills cover neatly we'll
C majorC       A/C#A/C#     D MajorD      B/D#B/D#
take steps to make sure our failures are hidden
      E minorEm      E minorEm   E minorEm    E minorEm
(But) It's hard when our voices echo over ripples that
C majorC      A/C#A/C#     D MajorD     B/D#B/D#
form on the lakes and the edges they prey on

Verse 2:
E minorEm        E minorEm  E minorEm     E minorEm
Swim 'round the lake, hoping like hell we'll find
C majorC     A/C#A/C# D MajorD     B/D#B/D#
shelter in coal mines incubating lies
E minorEm     E minorEm    E minorEm     E minorEm
Fathers and families, hammers and ties
C majorC        A/C#A/C#      D MajorD      B/D#B/D#   E minorEm
Brace for the winter 'til that rumble leapt up to his jaws

Verse 3:
E minorEm      E minorEm       E minorEm       E minorEm
Spines of furrowed earth jut jagged as they rise like welts
C majorC     A/C#A/C#     D MajorD      B/D#B/D#
up on our backs, on our bellies it's cold as the
E minorEm      E minorEm   E minorEm      E minorEm
lord in the bedroom, lord at your feet
   C majorC      A/C#A/C#     D MajorD      B/D#B/D#
Lords shaking the headboard with nothing to eat

Verse 4:
E minorEm       E minorEm      E minorEm        E minorEm
Cold, restless, stumbles, wanders towards the light that breaks
C majorC       A/C#A/C#    D MajorD       B/D#B/D#
out from the town, little homes bearing sheriffs
  E minorEm     E minorEm      E minorEm      E minorEm
Playing across drifts to the back of the brain where they
C majorC      A/C#A/C# D MajorD      B/D#B/D#      E minorEm
flicker like fire, speaking of times that they shined

   C majorC   A/C#A/C#  D MajorD   B/D#B/D#
We'll shine, shine, shine

   E minorEm   E minorEm   E minorEm   E minorEm
