[Intro]
Em Em C C x4
[Verse]
EmThe lightning climbing up the walls
EmThe finger drawings on the glass
CThe map of those who used to live here
CUntil the gilded hand was broken
EmOften there's a voice in my sleeping mind
EmThe words inside my skull at night
CBut once I wake, I cannot read them
C GMy bloody hands remain a question mark
[Chorus]
A#Sifting through the hiccups of time
CWe'll hide in the bones of the city
GThe engines sing along with their cries
A#This song, it spells disaster
CBut it's buried beneath the laughter
[Interlude]
Em Em C C x2
[Verse]
EmThe words that fall from out their mouths
EmCan change in your hands and split the skin
CSo I will keep myself apart
Cfrom shining eyes and privileged boredom
EmThe thing that I've learned from unusual blood
EmIs never touch a person's comfort
CThe voice of change is often heard
C GBut fear itself has come to visit
[Chorus]
A#Sifting through the hiccups of time
CWe'll hide in the bones of the city
GThe engines sing along with their cries
A#This song, it spells disaster
CBut we drown it out with laughter
[Interlude]
G C x2
[Outro]
GAnd our eyes
CThey were always pointed at the sky looking for an answer
GAnd our hands
CThey were stained in black and grey busy solving problems
Em CAnd our backs all bear the load of all the things we'll never know until it breaks us
EmAnd in the comfort of the Earth we will not wonder what we're worth
CNo, we will sleep soundly
All along the Road to Nowhere
