D
Turn the bars into cars    
Bm
And wait for the lights to change   
G
And take shape of people we used to know
                            D
'Til they grow less fond of knowing
                       

And we can ride in the night
                     Bm
And discard all the facts on our backs
                G
Remembering the thoughts we thought
                      D
Since we got over our parents


And if we go where we go
               Bm
And don't tell anyone where we're from
                         G
We can cut and paste the stars to our hearts
                     D
And understand their language

 
And we won't spit with our mouths
                      Bm
Or draw lines in the dirt with our heels
                 G
And every single day we'll just wait
                         D
And hope to see the next one

G                         Em
If we go down too easy my dear
                   G                Em                  A
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our friends and peers


So I get home to my home
The thoughts are in my head
And my bed is full of things I left
When I left her here

And the light through the blinds
And through the windowpane in the lane
Where the fire is getting cold
For they have burned all of their belongings

And up the stairs there's a pair
Who like to be made sure
That they were everything they are
For they are sadly mistaken

Now I forget how we met
Those days have all passed
Now the cast is filing to the stage
In a rage and taking their places

G                 Em
If we go down too easy my dear
                   G                Em                            A
We'll still be the heart of envy of all our peers and friends my dear
Bm               G    Em
To them we'll be has-beens
Bm         G     Em
To them be rouge waves
Bm          Em  G
To them be lost trains
A
Just posers posing

Bm             G  Em
We'll eat with our eyes
Bm            G   Em
And weep our goodbyes
Bm                 Em  G
And if that's what it takes
      A (hold)                G
We'll both drink the Kool-Aid again

D                    Bm                    G
'Til we've forgotten where our hearts have been
D                    Bm                    G
'Til we've forgotten where our hearts have been 
D                   Bm                    D
'Til we forget just where our hearts have been
