Em
 Your kiss was a lonely prayer

D
 When you slipped it into my mouth

Cmaj7
 I closed my eyes and held it in

Am
 Then I exhaled it out

Em
 The glow of the downtown lights

D
 Casting shadows across your face

Cmaj7
 As if all the buildings knew

E
 I could only know half of you
[Verse 2]
Em
 And I was a snake under your flowers

D
 I just wanted to disappear

Cmaj7
 Into the understory of your beauty

Am
 Never to reappear

Em
 But there's a name written on your cast

D
 Above the bruised and broken bones

Cmaj7
 It tells everybody that you need

E
 To whom the damage is owеd
[Chorus]
Am
 We are a wave of whitе noise

Fmaj7
 Beneath the city sleeping

C
 I saw the train doors closing

D
 I felt your sorrow deepen

Am
 Here in the asphalt meadows

Fmaj7
 There's only one thing that grows

C
 Finding the life through the concrete

D        Cmaj7          Cmaj7      Cmaj7
 Getting trampled under our feet
[Verse 3]
Em
 You set all your bridges in rows

D
 They all lead to an airport

Cmaj7
 Planes drifting off into the sky

Am
 Always depart, but never seem to arrive

Em
 And there in the early hour

D
 Lying naked in your unmade bed

Cmaj7
 I was thinking of how to tell you

E
 What my ticket read
[Bridge]
Em
 Your kiss was a lonely prayer

D
 A single candle, slowly burning down

Cmaj7
 But the light, your light was beautiful

E
 Then it's here and now
[Chorus]
Am
 We are a wave of whitе noise

Fmaj7
 Beneath the city sleeping

C
 I saw the train doors closing

D
 I felt your sorrow deepen

Am
 Here in the asphalt meadows

Fmaj7
 There's only one thing that grows

C
 Finding the life through the concrete

D        Cmaj7          Am
 Getting trampled under our feet

         Am
We are a wave of whitе noise

Fmaj7
 Beneath the city sleeping

C
 I saw the train doors closing

G
 I felt your sorrow deepen

Am
 Here in the asphalt meadows

Fmaj7
 There's only one thing that grows

C
 Finding the life through the concrete

D        Cmaj7          Cmaj7
 Getting trampled under our feet

        D              Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet

        Cmaj7          D
Getting trampled under our feet

        Cmaj7          Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet
