[Intro]
Em Em C C x4
[Verse]
[Em]The lightning climbing up the walls
[Em]The finger drawings on the glass
[C]The map of those who used to live here
[C]Until the gilded hand was broken
[Em]Often there's a voice in my sleeping mind
[Em]The words inside my skull at night
[C]But once I wake, I cannot read them
[C]My bloody hands remain a question [G]mark
[Chorus]
Sifting through the hiccups of [A#]time
We'll hide in the bones of the [C]city
The engines sing along with their [G]cries
This song, it spells [A#]disaster
But it's buried beneath the [C]laughter
[Interlude]
Em Em C C x2
[Verse]
[Em]The words that fall from out their mouths
[Em]Can change in your hands and split the skin
[C]So I will keep myself apart
[C]from shining eyes and privileged boredom
[Em]The thing that I've learned from unusual blood
[Em]Is never touch a person's comfort
[C]The voice of change is often heard
[C]But fear itself has come to visit[G]
[Chorus]
Sifting through the hiccups of [A#]time
We'll hide in the bones of the [C]city
The engines sing along with their [G]cries
This song, it spells [A#]disaster
But we drown it out with [C]laughter
[Interlude]
G C x2
[Outro]
And our [G]eyes
They were always pointed at the sky looking for an [C]answer
And our [G]hands
They were stained in black and grey busy solving [C]problems
And our [Em]backs all bear the load of all the things we'll never know until it [C]breaks us
And in the [Em]comfort of the Earth we will not wonder what we're worth
No, we will sleep [C]soundly
