Settle For Satin Chords - Alkaline Trio






Intro:
Am   G     (x2)

     Am
It's not so much a storm

           G
but just a cloud that lives inside of me

   F        
he doesn't disturb so easily these days

            E                 Am 
but when he wakes he goes the distance.

                 G
in a marathon it takes too long

                F     
open containers that sing songs

                    G  
you'll never dream again

            E
but you can pray

Bridge:
           Am         G             F 
i guess we all settle in to what we know

           Am            G      F   
i guess we always settle in, we know.

Chorus:
              Am7          G
That there is comfort in a world

      Am7             G             Am7
where darkness is the only thing we see

                           G       Am
and cold is all we have to breathe

      Am7                  G
where expectations keep us company

         Am7                  G
with the light we take to the outside

        Am7                        Am       E     
will it die? i somehow hide of out control.

         Am
(we lost control).

Verse:
it's not about the sky
or the clouds that walk all over me
they don't give up too easily these days
but when they break they go to pieces.
for a pond blood here in north set barns
under a sky that knows no stars
you'll never shine again
but you will stay.

Bridge
Chorus
