INTRO:

E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G+G
E, E7sus4, Aadd9, AsusAsus

VERSE 1:

E MajorE        E7sus4E7sus4       Aadd9Aadd9    G+G
As someone sets light to the first fire of Autumn
 E MajorE       E7sus4E7sus4 Aadd9Aadd9      AsusAsus
 We settle down to cut ourselves apart.
E MajorE      E7sus4E7sus4    Aadd9Aadd9    G+G
Cough and twitch from the news on your face
 E MajorE        E7sus4E7sus4 Aadd9Aadd9      AsusAsus
And some foreign candle burning in your eyes


POST-VERSE 1/PRE-VERSE 2:

E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G+G
E, E7sus4, Aadd9, AsusAsus


VERSE 2:

E MajorE      E7sus4E7sus4    Aadd9Aadd9      G+G
 Held to the past, too aware of the pending
 E MajorE          E7sus4E7sus4 Aadd9Aadd9        AsusAsus
 Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale
 E MajorE     E7sus4E7sus4    Aadd9Aadd9      G+G
 Enter the fog another low road descending
 E MajorE        E7sus4E7sus4 Aadd9Aadd9        AsusAsus
 Away from the cold lust, your house and summertime

Aadd9Aadd9

CHORUS:

 A augmentedA       E minorEm     A augmentedA
 Blind to the last cursed affair

  E minorEm       A augmentedA
 Pistols and countless eyes
   E minorEm       A augmentedA
 A augmentedA trail of white blood betrays
     C majorC       D MajorD
 The reckless route your craft is running
 A augmentedA       E minorEm       A augmentedA
 Feed till the sun turns into wood
   E minorEm      A augmentedA
 Dousing an ancient torch
       E minorEm
 Loiter the whole day through
    C majorC          D MajorD         A augmentedA
 And lose yourself in lines dissecting love


POST-CHORUS/PRE-VERSE:

E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G+G
E, E7sus4, Aadd9, AsusAsus


VERSE 3:

 E MajorE      E7sus4E7sus4     Aadd9Aadd9      G+G
 Your name on my cast and my notes on your stay
 E MajorE    E7sus4E7sus4 Aadd9Aadd9      AsusAsus
 Offer me little but doting on a crime
 E MajorE         E7sus4E7sus4    Aadd9Aadd9      G+G
 We've turned every stone and for all our inventions
 E MajorE       E7sus4E7sus4  Aadd9Aadd9        AsusAsus
 In matters of love lost, we've no recourse at all

Aadd9Aadd9

 A augmentedA trail of white blood betrays
     C majorC       D MajorD
 The reckless route your craft is running

 A augmentedA       E minorEm       A augmentedA
 Feed till the sun turns into wood
       E minorEm      A augmentedA
 Dousing an ancient torch
       E minorEm
 Loiter the whole day through and
