[Verse 1]
Gm Bb F Eb Forty-seven strings are pulled Eb Gm F Cm By this angelic beaten girl Bb F Gm Cm And it breaks our hearts to hear Eb Gm F Cm The music that comes out of her. Eb Gm F Cm Shoulders hang on folded chairs Eb Gm F Gm This will be our church tonight Bb F Gm Cm We have dug our foxholes here Eb Gm F Cm Not an atheist in sight. Cm Eb Cm Eb Laughing shaking taking oaths Gm Bb F Cm Breaking sacramental cups Gm Bb F Cm We pour the magic in our coats Eb Gm F Cm Thinking it can leave with us.
[Chorus]
Eb Gm F But it’s a long way out Eb Bb F 20 steps but it’s so harming Eb Gm F When they talk out loud Eb Bb F banter breaks your fingers on me
[Verse 2]
Gm Bb F Cm I’ve been breathing evil air Eb Gm F Cm Sharing needles with the sky Bb F Gm Cm Looking up remembering Eb Gm F C Regina said they're just old light. Gm F Cm Eb But you somehow understood Eb Gm F Cm My oversaturated skin Bb F Gm Cm You raised your hand up to my neck Eb Gm F Cm And played me like a theremin Cm Eb Cm Eb I see London I see France Gm Bb F Cm And all the things that we won’t do Gm Bb F Cm And if I never leave this chair Eb Gm F Cm Maybe I can go with you.
[Chorus]
Eb Gm F But it’s the long way out Eb Bb F 20 steps but it’s so harming Eb Gm F When they talk out loud Eb Bb F banter breaks your fingers on me Eb Gm F It’s a long way out Eb Bb F Past the bar and past the awning Eb Gm F Past the easy crowd Eb Bb F Back into the end
[Verse 3]
Gm Bb F Cm I am finding solace here Eb Gm F Cm In this unexpected place Bb F Gm Cm Like a startled dying man Eb Gm F Cm Kneels in prayer just in case Gm Bb F Cm And while the night sky sadly lit Eb Gm F Cm All that we were sleeping through Bb F Gm Cm Death took my friend Benjamin Eb Gm F Cm But he left his keys with you Gm Bb F Cm So I’ll kiss the air instead Eb Gm F Cm As not to disturb your sleep Bb F Gm Cm And if you never wake my love Eb Gm F Cm Maybe you can come with me
[Chorus]
Eb Gm F But it’s the wrong way out Eb Bb F 20 steps but it’s so harming Eb Gm F When they talk out loud Eb Bb F banter breaks your fingers on me Eb Gm F It’s the wrong way out Eb Bb F Past the bar and past the awning Eb Gm F Past the easy crowd Eb Bb F Back into the end of harmony Eb Bb F Back into the end of harmony Eb Bb F Back into the end of harmony Eb Bb F Cm Bb Cm Back into the eeeeeeeeeeeend
