VERSE 1:

E                E7sus4             Aadd9        G
As someone sets light to the first fire of Autumn
 E             E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus
 We settle down to cut ourselves apart.
E            E7sus4        Aadd9        G
Cough and twitch from the news on your face
 E               E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus
And some foreign candle burning in your eyes                         


POST-VERSE 1/PRE-VERSE 2:

E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G 
E, E7sus4, Aadd9, Asus


VERSE 2:

E            E7sus4       Aadd9           G
 Held to the past, too aware of the pending
 E                   E7sus4 Aadd9               Asus
 Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale
 E         E7sus4        Aadd9           G
 Enter the fog another low road descending
  E               E7sus4 Aadd9                Asus
 Away from the cold lust, your house and summertime

Aadd9


CHORUS:

  A             Em         A
 Blind to the last cursed affair
          
   Em             A
 Pistols and countless eyes
     Em              A
 A trail of white blood betrays
         C              D
 The reckless route your craft is running
  A             Em              A
 Feed till the sun turns into wood
      Em           A
 Dousing an ancient torch
             Em
 Loiter the whole day through
       C                   D                 A
 And lose yourself in lines dissecting love


POST-CHORUS/PRE-VERSE:

E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G 
E, E7sus4, Aadd9, Asus


VERSE 3:

 E            E7sus4         Aadd9           G
 Your name on my cast and my notes on your stay
 E        E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus
 Offer me little but doting on a crime
 E                  E7sus4       Aadd9           G
 We've turned every stone and for all our inventions
 E              E7sus4    Aadd9               Asus
 In matters of love lost, we've no recourse at all

Aadd9


CHORUS:

  A             Em         A
 Blind to the last cursed affair
             Em             A
 Pistols and countless eyes
     Em              A
 A trail of white blood betrays
         C              D
 The reckless route your craft is running

  A             Em              A
 Feed till the sun turns into wood
             Em           A
 Dousing an ancient torch
             Em
 Loiter the whole day through and
   C                    D
 Lose yourself in lines dissecting,
   C                    D            C                     D
 Lose yourself in lines dissecting, lose yourself in lines dissecting
