[Verse]

          G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
They're tearing up streets again.
          D7D7   D MajorD
They're building a new hotel.
         G+G     Cadd9Cadd9    D7D7    D MajorD
The Mayor's out killing kids to keep taxes down,
        G+G    Cadd9Cadd9    D7D7     D MajorD
and me and my anger sit folding a paper bird,
       G+G      Cadd9Cadd9       D7D7  D MajorD
letting the curtains turn to beating wings.

[Chorus]

       Cadd9Cadd9            G+G   G/F# E minor 7Em7
Wish I had a socket-set to dismantle this morning.
           Cadd9Cadd9
And just one pair of clean socks.
        D7D7  D MajorD
And a photo of you.


[Verse]

         G+G     Cadd9Cadd9
When you get off work tonight,
          D7D7      D MajorD
meet me at the construction site,
           G+G      Cadd9Cadd9      D7D7   D MajorD
and we'll write some notes to tape to the heavy machines,
          G+G       Cadd9Cadd9
like "We hope they treat you well.
        D7D7      D MajorD
Hope you don't work too hard.
       G+G    Cadd9Cadd9   D7D7   D MajorD
We hope you get to be happy sometimes."


[Chorus]

         Cadd9Cadd9            G+G    G/F# E minor 7Em7
Bring your swiss-army knife, and a bottle of something,
           Cadd9Cadd9            D7D7  D MajorD
and I'll bring some spraypaint and a new deck of cards.

[Verse]

         G+G     Cadd9Cadd9
Hey I found the safest place
         D7D7    D MajorD
To keep all our tenderness.
       G+G     Cadd9Cadd9
Keep all our bad ideas.
       D7D7  D MajorD
Keep all our hope.
         G+G       Cadd9Cadd9
It's here in the smallest bones
         D7D7    D MajorD
The feet and the inner-ear.
       G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
It's such an enormous thing
           D7D7  D MajorD
To walk and to listen.


[Chorus]

       Cadd9Cadd9             G+G    G/F# E minor 7Em7
I'd like to fall asleep to the beat of you breathing
         Cadd9Cadd9            D7D7  D MajorD
in a room near a truckstop on a highway somewhere.


[Verse]

      G+G  Cadd9Cadd9
You are a radio.
      D7D7    D MajorD
You are an open door.
    G+G      Cadd9Cadd9
I am a faulty string
         D7D7   D MajorD
Of blue christmas lights.
         G+G     Cadd9Cadd9
You swim through frequencies.
        D7D7   D MajorD          G+G   Cadd9Cadd9       D7D7 D MajorD
You let that stranger in, as I'm blinking off and on and off again.


[Chorus]

      Cadd9Cadd9
We've got a lot of time.
       G+G  G/F# E minor 7Em7
Or maybe we don't,
        Cadd9Cadd9         D7D7  D MajorD
but I'd like to think so, so let me pretend.


[Verse]

       G+G       Cadd9Cadd9
These are my favourite chords.
      D7D7      D MajorD
I know you like them too.
       G+G    Cadd9Cadd9      D7D7   D MajorD
When I get a new guitar, you can have this one
        G+G   Cadd9Cadd9
And sing me a lullaby.
       D7D7   D MajorD
Sing me the alphabet.
      G+G   Cadd9Cadd9     D7D7
