Cursive – Dead End Days (Guitar)

Dm             F/A           F
Dead end days, all we get is poorer

C           Bb
Painting ourselves into a corner

F             Eb
Dead end days burdened on your shoulder

Dm           F/A            F
That chip is growing like a tumor

C          Bb
Spreading across your equator

F              Eb                   Dm
Dead end days, how did we end up so lost?

F        Fm      C
Who can afford a home?

Bb                F
Who qualifies for business loans?

    Eb                     Dm
The banks are our masters

   F            Fm      C
So bring on the pile of debt

      Bb               F
We've all got a ransom on our heads

Eb
Some bigger than others

Dm             F/A           F
Dead end days, living on the fringes

C           Bb
Fake smiles buckle at the hinges

F              Eb
Dead end days, crumple up your wishlist

Dm             F/A          F
Some folks are luckier than others

C              Bb
Some folks are bound to be smothered

F              Eb                    Dm
Dead end days, everybody's so pissed off

F            Fm        C
Gone are the dreams of youth

Bb                      F
Gone are the creeds and absolutes

      Eb       F           Dm
We've lost all conviction

   F      Fm     C
If only a ray of truth

      Bb                         F
Would part through the clouds so destitute

  Eb
A beautiful beacon

Dm
If only

       Bbmaj7            Bb
If only life were a story

Dm
All our hopes and cares and boats

         C
Would be docked along the

                  Bbmaj7
Shores of weekend homes

                  F
If only, if only

Dm                  Gm
Life like a bowl of grapes

C
Stomped on until bitter wine is made

Dm
If only

       Bbmaj7            Bb
If only life were a story

Dm
All our bones would never break

C                                    Bbmaj7
Crashing like atoms on the interstate

                 F
If only, if only

Dm      Gm
Life is fine but short on time

C
Best to adapt to your cul-de-sac
