[INTRO] G C Em D [VERSE 1]
G
 Open up a window

         C                           Em
 All the air, all the air is falling out

                D
 Eyes vacuum up light
Sound gets trapped by the mouth
G
 What to do with the remainder

          C
 When the dents

                        Em
 The dents get hammered out

                           D
 Then we'll travel through time
[VERSE 2]
G                                 C
 The world's an inventor with its work

                               Em
 Crawling, running, squirming 'round

                     D
 Trees drop colorful fruits
Directly into our mouths
G
 The world's an inventor

           C                           Em
 We're the dirtiest thing its thought about

                     D
 And we really don't mind
G C Em D [VERSE 3]
G
 We'll probably never get there

            C                            Em
 Bring your sight seers, school teachers down
There's a water color weekend
         D
 All the trees are turning colors now

G
 We'll probably never get there 

            C                           Em
 Bring your candy taster, time wasters around

                           D
 And we'll fuck with their minds
[VERSE 4]
G
 The world composes with his

 C
 Shirt tails wrinkled hanging out

Em                         D
 Bang us together see what sort
Of sounds we make right now
G
 The world plays music

         C                           Em
 Playing skin on teeth inside of the mouth

              D
 What sort of sounds?
What lovely sounds come about G Em G Bm [CHORUS
G             C
 We stole the road

Em                 Bm
 We floated in the light

G                        C
 We're gonna break these bones

Em                  Bm
 We're gonna travel time

G             C
 We stole the road

Em                 Bm
 We floated in the light

G                        C
 We're gonna break these bones

Em                  Bm
 We're gonna travel time
[VERSE 5]
G   
 We're gonna throw a party

         C                          Em
 All the ghosts of trees are coming out
Don't the open the directions
        D
 Wait until the light's inside of the cloud

G
 You're gonna wanna see this

C
 Don't bring your camera around

Em                      D
 Watch sun and sawdust align
[CHORUS]
G             C
 We stole the road

Em                 Bm
 We floated in the light

 We're gonna break these bones

 We stole the road

Em                 Bm
 We floated in the light

G                        C
 We're gonna break these bones

Em                  Bm
 We're gonna travel time
[VERSE 6]
G 
 Close up the window

         C                          Em
 All the air all the air is falling out

                D
 Eyes vacuum up light
Sound gets trapped by the mouth
G                          C
 Our predecessor left this box

                          Em
 And something's clawing around

                         D
 I think it really wants out
[OUTRO] G C Em D
