Chords

[Intro]
E       A            D
We sat quiet on the hill

                        E
Out just north of Wings Field

A                   D        
Waiting on the runway lights
[Verse 1] E F#m
A       F#m     C#m       D
We were wrapped in winter coats

                              E F#m
And I said I'd drive you home

A         F#m      C#m       D
You'd been pulling out your flask all night

E                                                        A
I wrapped my arms around the moment like I'm clutching a memory

    C#m           D                               A
You alive in your madness, in love with the night
[Pre-chorus]
F#m             E                       F#m
The glow of the furnace, the ambulance lights

                      D                                    A
The bluest things on Earth don't know shit about the blues

    F#m        E
You used to be vibrant
You used to burn bright D [Chorus]
            F#m
Put out the light

          E
In your clouded eyes

          D
Kept you inside
Through the summer time
              F#m                        E
You put up a fight, pressing flowers at night

               D
In a book that you love
The pieces they can't take of us [Instrumental] E F#m A F#m C#m D E F#m A F#m C#m D [Verse 2]
E
I found you shaking at the lake

           A              C#m           D
A hospital bracelet still tight to your wrist
We talked to fill the empty space
E
Danced on the ice until it breaks

               A            C#m        D
They flooded a town so this park could exist

                                           A
You see us walking on the streets in your dreams
[Pre-chorus]
     F#m            E
The pills that they fed you

                F#m
Your half awake eyes

                     D                               A
The bluest things on Earth don't know shit about the blues

    F#m     E
You used to burn...
[Chorus]
            F#m
Put out the light

          E
In your clouded eyes

          D
Kept you inside
Through the summer time
              F#m                        E
You put up a fight, pressing flowers at night

               D
In a book that you love
The pieces they can't take of us [Instrumental] C#m D A G#m F#m C#m D A G#m F#m C#m D A G#m F#m C#m D A [Chorus]
G#m            F#m
Put out the light

          E
In your clouded eyes

          D
Kept you inside
Through the summer time
              F#m                        E
You put up a fight, pressing flowers at night

               D
In a book that you love
[Outro] These pieces they can't take of us
D     C#m      D       C#m
These pieces they can't take of us
