[Intro]
| D | D |
[Verse 1]
D D Meet me out by the fire escape, it’s been 40 nights and 40 days G G and I’ve become uncertain in a cosmic way, I chewed my fingers to the bone today. D D Oh, won’t you come around and come and meet me by the fire escape, untie this tied tongue tie. G What is it that I wanna say? What is it that I really wanna say? G What are the words I’ve been choking on, hopin’ someone will articulate?
[Chorus 1]
D D Oh, no, that’s some murky water, alright, we’re in the trenches now. A A I don’t know when the party is over, all I know’s I’m getting out somehow. G G Oh, what a fever dream.
[Verse 2]
D D Meet me out by the fire escape, join the procession down the alleyway. G G Our freedom’s a joke and we’ve got debts to pay. How many waves until the levee breaks? D D Oh, won’t you come around and meet me by the fire escape, untie these tied tongue ties. G What is it that we wanna say? What is it that we really wanna say? G What are the truths we’ve been choking on, hoping someone will articulate?
[Chorus 2]
D D Oh, no, that’s some murky water, alright, we’re in the trenches now.
A*** N.C.
And I don’t know how the story ends but the pages just turn over then turn over a - [Bridge] gain.
[Bridge]
G G And redemption’s always out of sight and just around the bend D and the outcome doesn’t match with what it is that I intend.
Like a stack of books that grows and gathers dust beside the be
D A or the disconnect between what people do and what they’ve said. A And I wanna read the news maybe without losing my head. D D A A G G Oh, what a fever dream.
[Outro] (Reprise Verse 1)
D D Meet me out by the fire escape, it’s been 40 nights and 40 days G G*** and I’ve become uncertain in a cosmic way, I chewed my fingers to the bone today.
