F                           Dm
  Let's call this the quiet city
Where screams are felt
              Bb
as a wave of stoplights

                   C
Drive through the streets as 

                       F
gunshots punctuate the night

             Dm
The sides we take divide 

        Bb
us from our faith

        C
And the morning dove gets 

                        Dm
caught in the telephone wire

  F                Dm
Asleep you set the fire 

   Bb   C   Dm   F
in your own house
And the night was
  Dm         Bb
a knife that cut

    C
And I'm para--
Chorus 1:
  Dm
--lyzed

Bb            Dm
Cross out the eyes

Bb           Dm
Blur all the lines

Bb           C
Tearing this canvas

         Dm
from the wall

   Bb              Dm
We crossed out the eyes

    Bb                  Dm
Put lines through these cries

   Bb             C
We pulled all the leaves 

                    Dm
from the trees that fall
(your trees that fall your trees that fall your trees that fall your trees that fall) Verse 2:
F
  A silent dance that we 

Dm                     Bb
did into this hospital bed

                         Dm
Hear voices from another room

                    F
"It happens all the time"

                     Dm
but you leave in the sand

              Bb
the leaves fallen

                      C
counting down days to live
Drain the blood
               F    Bb 
from this valentine!

        Dm
"We can rise on the 

         Bb
wings of the dove

          Dm
See blue skies getting caught 

                          F   Bb
in the trail of all this smoke

       Dm
We can rise like candles in 

Bb
the dark-yours always"

C
  and an envelope marked with 

           Dm
your new address

  F                Dm
Asleep you set the fire 

   Bb   C   Dm   F
in your own house
And the night was
  Dm         Bb
a knife that cut

    C
And I'm para--

the coming white days
