Half Step Down (But it still sounds fine in standard) Intro pt. 1 (Arpeggiation of these chords, with some variations): G Em C D Intro pt. 2 (The rest of the band enters): G Em C D x2 Verse 1: G We saw the western coast C I saw the hospital Em C Nursed the shoreline like a wound G Reports of lover's tryst C Were neither clear nor descript Em We kept it safe and slow C The quiet things that no one ever knows Chorus: x2 G So keep the blood in your head Em And keep your feet on the ground If today's the day it gets tired C Today's the day we drop out Gave up my body and bed D All for an empty hotel Wasting words on lower cases and capitals Verse 2: G I contemplate the day we wed C Your friends are boring me to death Em C Your veil is ruined in the rain G By then it's you I can do without C There's nothing new to talk about Em And though our kids are blessed C Their parents let them shoulder all the blame Chorus Again Bridge 1:(quietly) G, Em, C, D x2 G Em I lie for, only you, C D And I lie well, hallelu x2 Bridge 2: (intense) G Em I lie for, only you C D And I lie well, hallelu x2 Chorus Again (Bridge in Back Background)
