[Intro] A | A | D | D | A | A | G | G | A | A | G | G | [Verse 1]
           A
[tab]                  G
Pictures hanging diagonally

                           A
Drive through crying in a milkshake

                    G
It wasn't built to last
[Verse 2]
            A
Up in the front seat

                            G
You were playing with the station

                          A
And I was fidgeting with the heat

                     D               G            Em
Looking back to the vibrant days of racket in the hall
[Chorus]
  D              A
Caution to the breeze

                      Em               D       A
Say you'll climb your way out of your wake now-ow

                Em
Velvet curtain drawn

  D              A
Flowers at your feet

                   C                G          A
Say you'll contemplate how you're weighed down
[Instrumental] Em | D | A | A | Em | D | A | A | [Verse 3]
                   A                          G
The pulse of the brakelight is the colour of burning embers

                            A
If you wake up, will you remember

                     G
The awful things I said at the edge of the bed?
[Verse 4]
                   A
Thrashing like a great white

                                       G
         As they rolled you up on a stretcher
(I feel the northern tide crashing)
                                 A
And the faint words of Jessica Fletcher
(on the pines)
                                   D       G            Em
         Were drowned out by the sound of racket in the hall
(I feel the northern tide crashing on the pines) [Chorus]
  D            A
Caution to the breeze

                      Em               D       A
Say you'll climb your way out of your wake now-ow
[Bridge 1]
      Dmaj7                        Gmaj7
Those days, I'd never let you fall apart

           Dmaj7                               Gmaj7
But things fade  like the scent of a brand new  car

                         Dmaj7
Why would I ever fall in love  again

     E7               Em        D        A
When every detail is over the guardrail?

                      Em               D    A
Say you'll climb your way out of your wake now
[Chorus]
 A                 C               Em      A
Say you'll contemplate how you're weighed down
[Post-Chorus]
                   Em  D  A
Are you awake now?

                   Em  D  A
Are you awake now?
[Outro]
              Em
Racket in the hall

  D              A
Caution to the breeze

                Em
Velvet curtain drawn

  D              A
Flowers at your feet
[Outro] Em | D | A | A | C | G | A |
