capo 2
Am
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
C F
Do you believe in anything?
F Em
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Am
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
C F
where we believe in everything.
F Em
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
F Em
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
F Em
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
C
What did you learn tonight?
G Am
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
F C
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
G
You are freezing over hell
Am
You are bringing on that end you do so well
F
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Am
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
C
think that will sort me?
F F Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
and sweep me under the rug?
F
while you're beating with a book
Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Am
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
C F F Em7 Em E7 Em Em7
and it's burning hot with love.
F Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
F Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
F Em7 Em Em7 Em Em7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
C
What did you learn tonight?
G Am
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
F C
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
G
You are freezing over hell
Am
You are bringing on that end you do so well
F
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

Chorus:
C G Am F
C G Am F
C
Feels like,
We could escape this.
G
And I might,
Throw it away,
Am F
In fear of the silver sun.
C
If you try,
G
running a maze of your lies,
Your to hard to save,
Am
If you've,
Thrown out,
F
Everyone.
