[Verse 1] (Main riff repeated throughout) (Riff) Picking up the tires from the side of the road (Riff) Gonna push back the coming tide (Riff) Lay them in the harbour in symmetrical rows (Riff) Disappear when the water is high (Riff) Sitting and regretting now my sneakers are soaked (Riff) So they're drying in the sun outside (Riff) It's not what I intended when I woke up the house (Riff) I was screaming, "We're all gonna die" [Pre-Chorus]
              D5  G5 F5   G5
And now we're all in late trains

D5    G5   F5   E
Racing the motorway
[Chorus]
D5                 G5
Getting rhyme over reason

       D5             G5
It's a sinister silly season

    D5                  E     F5
But maybe we can end up meaning a real thing
[Verse 2] (Main riff repeated throughout) (Riff) Picking up the tires from the side of the road (Riff) Gonna push back the coming tide (Riff) Laying down beside them like I'm in on the joke (Riff) Wake me up when the world is fried (Riff) And you're sorry, I see it when you open your mouth (Riff) You've got one hand over your heart while you're holding me down (Riff) Oh I, I want to hope but if that's not allowed (Riff) I guess I'll go out instead [Pre-Chorus]
          D5  G5 F5   G5
Now we're all in relay

   D5    G5   F5     E
We all admit it's strange
[Chorus]
D5                 G5
Getting rhyme over reason

      D5             G5
It's a sinister silly season

    D5                  E    F5
But maybe we can end up meaning a real thing

It's a sinister silly season

But maybe we can end up meaning

End up meaning

End up meaning a real thing
