Kevin Devine – All Of Everything Erased (Guitar)

Am
this is the window where

E
  i watched the future start

G
  my pupils dilated

Asus
  the shock sped up my arms

Fmaj
  i shut my ambushed eyes

G                                C
  and turned my face towards the heat

Am
  i felt the city choke

E
  i heard the world at war

G
  i prayed for providence

Asus
  god said, 'don't pray no more

Fmaj
  you went and made your mess

G                            C
  now keep your blame off my feet'

Am
  so i got off my knees

E
  i faced the devil's day

G
  the sky was murder red

Asus
  the streets were headstone gray

Fmaj
  a flaming ferris wheel

G                            F
  spun where the sun used to be

F                   G
i watched its buckets dip and dance

F                    G
i saw a couple making love lock hands

          C           G               Fbm               C
they were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring

E                        F                G         Am
90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything

Am
  i saw my lover chased

E
  through fields of sugarcane

G
  she clutched her belly close

Asus
  and whispered, "keep us safe"

Fmaj
  they ground her down to dust

G                    C
  no more miracles today

Am
  i dreamt myself awake

E  
  in a resort hotel

G
  above a golden coast

Asus
  beside my Southern belle

Fmaj
  we heard the sea reborn

G                 C
  in each singing shell

Am
  and every coughing car

E
  and every coiled snake

G
  and every shrieking star

Asus
  and every burning stake

Fmaj
  dissolved to atmosphere

G                     C
  all of everything, erased

F              G
i spread into a distant hum

F                  G
i droned along with everyone

        C                    G                 Fbm              C
and the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be

E                                   F           G           C    E
all our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory

    Am           G
and oh!, what a joy,

      C    
to be free.
