   D                     Am
Remember the morning we dug up your gun
     Cmaj7
The worms in the barrel, the hanging sun
      D                         Am
Those first nervous evenings of perfume and gin
          Cmaj7
The lost smell on your breath as I helped you get it in
    Em                      Cmaj7
The rush of your lips, the feel of your name
     Em                       G          D
The beat in your heart, the devil's arcade

   D                     Am
You said "Heroes are needed, so heroes get made"
     Cmaj7
Somebody made a bet, somebody paid
      D                         Am
The cool desert morning and nothing to save
          Cmaj7
Just metal and plastic where your body caved
    Em                      Cmaj7
The slow games of poker with Lieutenant Ray
        Em                          Cmaj7
In the ward with the blue walls, a sea with no name
                  Em                           G         D
Where you lie adrift with the heroes of the devil's arcade

     Am                                 Em
You sleep and you dream, your buddies Charlie and James
                              G         D
And wake with a thick desert dust on your skin

Instrumental:  D - Am - Cmaj7 - Cmaj7 x2
               Em - Cmaj7 - Em - G - D

  D                        Am
A voice says "don't worry, I'm here
      Cmaj7       
Just whisper the word tomorrow in my ear"
 D                           Am
A house on a quiet street, a home for the brave
    Cmaj7
A glorious kingdom with the sun on your face
  Em                         Cmaj7
Rising from a long night as dark as the grave
           Em                       Cmaj7
On a thin chain of next moments and something like faith
       Em                Cmaj7
On a morning to order a breakfast to make
     Em                      Cmaj7
A bed draped in sunshine, a body that waits
         Em                        Cmaj7
For the touch of your fingers, the end of the day
     Em                     Cmaj7
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
     Em                     Cmaj7
The beat of your heart, the beat of your heart
     Em                     Cmaj7
The beat of your heart, the beat of her heart
     Em                     Cmaj7
The beat of your heart, the slow burning away
Em                          G           D
Of the bitter fires of the devil's arcade
