3/4 time

|G |Cadd2 |G |Cadd2 |

G                  Cadd2
When your eyes are tight now
G                 Cadd2
you see the crash site howl
G           Cadd2
a crucified morning
    Am             D
and people thunder storming

G              Cadd2              
welcome to the heat race
G              Cadd2
dancers on the red plate
Em               F       G
strike while the iron is hot

Bm                     Em
but you know that it's dark outside
 F#m         B      F#m  B
(soon you'll say it slip away)
Bm                  Em
and you have little time to hide
  F#m       B    F#m     B    
(watch them wait for the rain)

G        Cadd2 
love and disarm now
G                 Cadd2
it will do you no harm now
Em        F         G      F  Em  G
people we know slip away
G           Cadd2
feel like a gun head
G                    Cadd2
from things that are not said
G                Cadd2
you had a Sunday notion
Am                   D       
you'd go through the motions

G                 Cadd2
feeling cross and wavy
G                     Cadd2
you know you couldn't save me
Em     F               G
try to retrieve me somehow

Bm                     Em
you want to lie in the morning sun
 F#m   B    F#m   F#m           
(wide awake all afraid)
Bm                       Em 
and blow around like the chosen one
 F#m    B          F#m   B    F#m        B
(it's a shame it's all a game you're too late) 

G               Cadd2
swinging at the sea stars
G           Cadd2
living on a memoir
Em        F         G
people we know slip away

|Bm |Bm |Em |Em |

 F#m         B      F#m   B           
(soon you'll say it slip away)
  F#m       B    F#m     B    
(watch them wait for the rain)

G                  Cadd2    
when your eyes are tight now
G                 Cadd2                 
you see the crash site howl
G           Cadd2
a crucified morning
Am               D
it comes with no warning
G                   Cadd2
where's it going to come from
G              Cadd2
is it going to feel numb
Em        F         G
people we know slip away
Em        F         G     F  Em G
people we know slip away
