Intro-        E5       D5      A5      G5
              E5       D5      A5      D5

 E5                D5                  A5        G5
"as someone sets light to the first fire of Autumn
 E5          D5        A5              D5  
 we settle down, to cut ourselves apart.
 E5          D5               A5            G5
 cough and twitch from the news on your face
 E5                    D5       A5           D5
 and some foreign candle burning in your eyes

               E5       D5      A5       G5
               E5       D5      A5       D5
  E5          D5           A5          G5
 held to the past, too aware of the pending
  E5                  D5          A5              D5
 chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale
  E5         D5           A5               G5
 enter the fog another low road descending
  E5              D5               A5              D5          A5
 away from the cold lust, your house and summertime

(Chorus-- Change from slow strumming of A to fast strumming before chorus)
  A5              G5                A5
 blind to the last curse of the fair
             G5             A5
 pistols and countless eyes
     G5              A5
 a trail of white blood betrays
         C5              D5                A5
 the reckless route your craft is running
  A5             G5              A5
 feed till the sun turns into wood
             G5           A5
 dousing an ancient torch
             G5
 loiter the whole day through
       C5                   D5                 A5
 and lose yourself in lines dissecting love

              E5       D5       A5       G5
              E5       D5       A5       D5
 E5               D5              A5           G5
 your name on my cast and my notes on your stay
 E5          D5       A5            D5
 offer me little but doting on a crime
 E5                  D5            A5            G5
 we've turned every stone and for all our inventions
 E5                D5              A5             D5         A5
 in matters of love lost, we've no recourse at all    

(Chorus)
 A5              G5                 A5
 blind to the last curse of the fair 
                G5          A5 
 pistols and countless eyes
                    G5     
 a trail of white blood betrays 
          C5             D5                 A5
 the reckless route your craft is running
                G5                A5
 feed till the sun turns into wood
           G5             A5
 dousing an ancient torch 
                G5                    C5                 D5 
 loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting, 
   C5                    D5            C5                     D5 
 lose yourself in lines dissecting, lose yourself in lines dissecting..."
