Intro: Cadd9 Em2 G

Verse 1: Cadd9 Em2 G x8
We dismiss the back roads 
To ride these streets unafraid 
Resigned to scraping paint 
From our bones unashamed 

Pre Chorus: A# Cadd9 G D x2
No more the eye upon you 
No more the simple man 

Chorus: Cadd9 Em2 G x8
Desolation yes hesitation no 
Desolation yes hesitation no 
As you might have guessed all is never shown 
Desolation yes hesitation no 

Verse 2: Cadd9 Em2 G x8
And in my prayers I dream alone 
A silent speech to deaf ear 
If you want love you must be love 
But if you bleed love you will die loved 

Pre Chorus: A# Cadd9 G D x2
No more the lie upon you 
Cast into stone and autumn shade 

Chorus: Cadd9 Em2 G x8
Desolation yes hesitation no 
Desolation yes hesitation no 
As you might have sensed we won't make it home 
Desolation yes hesitation no 

Break: Cadd9 Em2 Em7 D             
Before the rites of spring
Come to mean all things 
A little taste of what may come
A mere glimpse of what has gone 
Cause for the moment we are free
We seek to bind our release 
Too young to die too rich to care 
too fucked to swear that I was there 

Chorus: Cadd9 Em2 G x8
Desolation yes hesitation no 
Desolation yes hesitation no 
As you might have guessed we won't make it home 
Desolation yes hesitation no
