C
Turn the bars into cars
Am
And wait for the lights to change
C
And take shape of people we used to know
C
'Til they grow less fond of knowing
And we can ride in the night
Am
And discard all the facts on our backs
C
Remembering the thoughts we thought
C
Since we got over our parents
And if we go where we go
Am
And don't tell anyone where we're from
C
We can cut and paste the stars to our hearts
C
And understand their language
And we won't spit with our mouths
Am
Or draw lines in the dirt with our heels
C
And every single day we'll just wait
C
And hope to see the next one
C Am
If we go down too easy my dear
C Am D
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our friends and peers
So I get home to my home
The thoughts are in my head
And my bed is full of things I left
When I left her here
And the light through the blinds
And through the windowpane in the lane
Where the fire is getting cold
For they have burned all of their belongings
And up the stairs there's a pair
Who like to be made sure
That they were everything they are
For they are sadly mistaken
Now I forget how we met
Those days have all passed
Now the cast is filing to the stage
In a rage and taking their places
C Am
If we go down too easy my dear
C Am D
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our peers and friends my dear
Am C Am
To them we'll be has-beens
Am C Am
To them be rouge waves
Am Am C
To them be lost trains
D
Just posers posing
Am C Am
We'll eat with our eyes
Am C Am
And weep our goodbyes
Am Am C
And if that's what it takes
D (hold) C
We'll both drink the Kool-Aid again
C Am C
'Til we've forgotten where our hearts have been
C Am C
'Til we've forgotten where our hearts have been
C Am C
'Til we forget just where our hearts have been
