Standard (EADGBE)

Intro pt. 2 (The rest of the band enters):

x2

Verse 1

 We saw the western coast

 I saw the hospital

Nursed the shoreline like a wound

 Reports of lover's tryst

 Were neither clear nor descript

 We kept it safe and slow

 The quiet things that no one ever knows

Chorus

x2

So keep the blood in your head

 And keep your feet on the ground

If today's the day it gets tired

 Today's the day we drop out

Gave up my body and bed

 All for an empty hotel

Wasting words on lower cases and capitals

Verse 2

I contemplate the day we wed

 Your friends are boring me to death

 Your veil is ruined in the rain

By then it's you I can do without

 There's nothing new to talk about

 And though our kids are blessed

 Their parents let them shoulder all the blame

Chorus again

Bridge 1

(quietly)

, , , x2

I lie for, only you,

 And I lie well, hallelu x2

Bridge 2

(intense)

I lie for, only you

 And I lie well, hallelu x2

Chorus again
