E                E7sus4             Asus2   G
 As someone sets light to the first fire of Autumn

E          E7sus4   Asus2           Dsus2 Dsus4 D
 We settle down to, cut ourselves apart

E          E7sus4          Asus2        G
 Cough and twitch from the news on your face

E                 E7sus4  Asus2           Dsus2 Dsus4 D
 And some foreign candle, burning in your eyes
[Solo] E E7sus4 Asus2 G E E7sus4 Asus2 Dsus2 Dsus4 D
E            E7sus4     Asus2       G
 Held to the past, too aware of the pending

E             E7sus4          Asus2           Dsus2 Dsus4 D
 Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale

E          E7sus4      Asus2      G
 Enter the fog another low road descending

E              E7sus4          Asus2           Dsus2 Dsus4 D
 Away from the cold lust, your house and summertime
[Break] Asus2 [Chorus]
A             Em                A
 Blind to the last curse of the fair

            Em          A
Pistols and countless eyes

                 Em
A trail of white blood betrays

    C                   D
The reckless route your craft is running

A              Em             A
 Feed till the sun turns into wood

           Em         A
Dousing an ancient torch

           Em
Loiter the whole day through

    C                D               Asus2
And lose yourself in lines dissecting love
[Solo] E E7sus4 Asus2 G E E7sus4 Asus2 Dsus2 Dsus4 D [Verse]
E                E7sus4       Asus2         G
 Your name on my cast, and my notes on your stay

E         E7sus4      Asus2       Dsus2 Dsus4 D
 Offer me little, but doting on a crime

E                   E7sus4        Asus2     G
 We've turned every stone and for all our inventions

E              E7sus4           Asus2          Dsus2 Dsus4 D
 In matters of love lost, we've no recourse at all
[Break] Asus2 [Chorus]
A             Em                A
 Blind to the last curse of the fair

            Em          A
Pistols and countless eyes

                 Em
A trail of white blood betrays

    C                   D
The reckless route your craft is running

A              Em             A
 Feed till the sun turns into wood

           Em         A
Dousing an ancient torch

           Em
Loiter the whole day through

    C                D
And lose yourself in lines dissecting,
[Outro]
C                D
lose yourself in lines dissecting

C                D
lose yourself in lines dissecting

C                D
lose yourself in lines dissecting

C                D
lose yourself in lines dissecting... (repeat 14 more times or so then)

   C                D                G
...lose yourself in lines dissecting love
