capo 2
A5                        
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
C5                 F5         
Do you believe in anything?
F5                                 E5
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?

A5    
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
C5                   F5
where we believe in everything.
F5                                      E5
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
F5                                   E5
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
F5                          E5             
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.


C5                    
What did you learn tonight?
G5                                   A5
 while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
          F5                                        C5
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
                      G5
You are freezing over hell
                         A5
You are bringing on that end you do so well
            F5                                   
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

  A5
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
                          C5
think that will sort me?
                       F5 F5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
and sweep me under the rug?
   F5               
while you're beating with a book
              E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
everyone that book tells you to love.
A5            
  There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
        C5                  F5 F5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
and it's burning hot with love.
F5                                                 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
F5                                       E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
          F5                                  E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.

C5                    
What did you learn tonight?
G5                                   A5
 while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
          F5                                        C5
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
                      G5
You are freezing over hell
                         A5
You are bringing on that end you do so well
            F5                                   
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

A5             
   Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
C5                     F5 F5 E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
   Do you believe in anything,
             F5                                   E5 E5 E5 E5 E5
or do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?

Chorus:
C5 G5 A5 F5
C5 G5 A5 F5

C5
Feels like,
           
We could escape this.
    G5
And I might,

Throw it away,
   A5                     F5
In fear of the silver sun.
C5
If you try,
                  G5
running a maze of your lies,
         
Your to hard to save,
   A5
If you've,

Thrown out,
       F5
Everyone.
