[VERSE 1]:

C5                                               E5
we met one day in wet cement
                  D5                            
where we glued our eyes shut
        G5
and pressed with our fists
C5                                                              E5
and while the trees are shrinking now
             D5
they forgot their roots
           G5
and sloped in the ground


[PRECHORUS 1]:

D5                                                                 G5
and while I'm picking out my favorite names
C5                                     A5
where our future is concerned
D5                                      G5
in the steady blur of the days
C5                                                             A5
what brought us here, why we try to say


[CHORUS]:

D5             G5                   C5
    we face back all the way
        G5        D5      
Whoa, whoa
C5           G5       D5
    Whoa, whoa

[VERSE 2]:

C5                                                            E5
now the cement's hardened in my chest
D5                                                        G5
a world of wax scraped in through text
C5                                                                            E5
and someone was calling just before I woke up
       D5                                                       G5 
my broken record spits good and bad luck


[PRECHORUS 2]:

D5                                                   G5
and with my broken, pale black eyes
C5                                                              A5
I still see white when the snow falls lightly
D5                                       G5
in the steady blur of the days
C5                                                              A5
what brought us here, why we try to say


[CHORUS]:

D5             G5                   C5
    we face back all the way
        G5        D5      
Whoa, whoa
C5           G5       D5
    Whoa, whoa


[ENDING]:

A5       G5
Ahhh, Ah
A5       G5 
Ahhhh, Ah
D5          G5
Ohhhhh, Oh
C5
Ohhhhhh
