Intro F,Bb (palm muted)

Verse 1
F              Bb                F          Bb
Our words move aimlessly through empty city squares
F          Bb            F                Bb
Collecting into mobs and angry like their prayers
     Am           Dm     C          Bb      Am
They breathe, the air we thought to leave--behind.
F            Bb              F               Bb
This kind of blank adventure happens all the time..

Prechorus/chorus 1
        C                                          Bb     F        Bb     F
Because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do..the way you do..

Verse 2
F            Bb                     F                Bb
We fought to find our thoughts, the runway walked us through.
F            Bb             F                Bb
The swimsuit portion of the evening canceled due..
   Am         Dm     C      Bb            Am
To rain, the pageant's called again, you'll find
F            Bb              F               Bb
This kind of blank adventure happens all the time..

Prechorus/chorus 2
         C                                          Bb    F        Bb     F
Because nobody knows the wreck of the soul the way you do..the way you do..
Bb        F         Bb         F
