Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse:

                    G            Cadd9
They're tearing up streets again.
                   D7     D
They're building a new hotel.
                 G          Cadd9       D7       D
The Mayor's out killing kids to keep taxes down,
               G       Cadd9       D7         D
and me and my anger sit folding a paper bird,
             G           Cadd9             D7   D
letting the curtains turn to beating wings.

Chorus:

              Cadd9                        G     G/F#  Em7
Wish I had a socket-set to dismantle this morning.
                     Cadd9
And just one pair of clean socks.
                D7   D
And a photo of you.


Verse:

                  G          Cadd9
When you get off work tonight,
                    D7           D
meet me at the construction site,
                      G           Cadd9            D7     D
and we'll write some notes to tape to the heavy machines,
                    G             Cadd9
like "We hope they treat you well.
                D7           D
Hope you don't work too hard.
             G       Cadd9      D7     D
We hope you get to be happy sometimes."


Chorus:

                 Cadd9                        G       G/F#  Em7
Bring your swiss-army knife, and a bottle of something,
                     Cadd9                        D7    D
and I'll bring some spraypaint and a new deck of cards.


Verse:

                 G          Cadd9
Hey I found the safest place
                 D7        D
To keep all our tenderness.
              G         Cadd9
Keep all our bad ideas.
              D7   D
Keep all our hope.
                  G             Cadd9
It's here in the smallest bones
                 D7        D
The feet and the inner-ear.
              G            Cadd9
It's such an enormous thing
                      D7   D
To walk and to listen.


Chorus:

             Cadd9                          G       G/F#  Em7
I'd like to fall asleep to the beat of you breathing
                 Cadd9                       D7    D
in a room near a truckstop on a highway somewhere.


Verse:

           G    Cadd9
You are a radio.
            D7       D
You are an open door.
        G           Cadd9
I am a faulty string
                  D7     D
Of blue christmas lights.
                  G          Cadd9
You swim through frequencies.
               D7      D                   G     Cadd9             D7  D
You let that stranger in, as I'm blinking off and on and off again.


Chorus:

            Cadd9
We've got a lot of time.
              G    G/F#  Em7
Or maybe we don't,
                Cadd9                  D7    D
but I'd like to think so, so let me pretend.


Verse:

              G              Cadd9
These are my favourite chords.
            D7           D
I know you like them too.
              G        Cadd9           D7      D
When I get a new guitar, you can have this one
               G      Cadd9
And sing me a lullaby.
             D7      D
Sing me the alphabet.
           G     Cadd9          D7
Sing me a story I haven't heard yet.
