Tom: G
G Em
The night was cool and bleeding black
Bm C
As you crawled out across the glass
G Em
Oh, oh, with my blood and bones
Bm C
And feathers in your teeth
G Em Bm C
G Em Bm C
[Verse]
G Em
I was coming down fast
Bm C
From where once was wonder
G Em
I was coming down fast
Bm C
Black dog on my back
G Em
Yeah, I was coming down fast
Bm C
From where once was wonder
G Em Bm C
I was coming down fast
[Pre-chorus]
G Em
The night was cool and bleeding black
Bm C
As you crawled out across the glass
G Em
Oh, oh, with my blood and bones
Bm C
And feathers in your teeth
G Em
I swear to God, the Ghost and Father
Bm C
Sometimes it's just so much harder
G Em
So much harder to hold your
Bm C
Breath and to breathe
Bm D
But it comes so easily, oh
[Chorus]
G Em
Oh, while we're young, yeah
Bm C
Let's go out and get some scars
G Em
Cos when we're older
Bm C
We'll wear them to tell us apart
[Verse]
G Em Bm C
G Em
No this feeling won't last
Bm C
So we sink to a slumber
G Em
Thinking every balloon
Bm C
You blow up had burst
G Em
No this feeling won't last
Bm C
So we sink to a slumber
G Em Bm C
Screaming, 'You killed me first'
[Pre-chorus]
G Em
Where once was wonder's now the feeling
Bm C
Of weeping like the water wheel
G Em
That just keeps turning till we're numb
Bm C
Blue summer, no dice, son
G Em
Set these controls for that blue moon
Bm C
Just like you did when I was cruel
G Em
But if we're going up, and up and up
Bm C
Then we aren't coming down too soon
Bm D
We aren't coming down too soon
[Chorus]
G Em
Oh while we're young, yeah
Bm C
Let's go out and get some scars
G Em
Cos when we're older
Bm C
We'll wear them to tell us apart
G Em
Oh while we're young, yeah
Bm C
Let's go out and get some scars
G Em
Cos when we're older
Bm C
We'll wear them to tell us apart
Bm D
We'll wear them to tell us apart
G Em Bm C x2
[Breakdown]
G Em
When I get to the gutter I get up
Bm C
And I show you the scars that I won on my way to the bottom
G Em
When I get to the gutter I get up, I get up
Bm C
And I show you the scars
G Em
When I get to the gutter I get up
Bm C
And I show you the scars that I won on my way to the bottom
G Em
When I get to the gutter I get up, I get up
Bm C
And I show you the scars
[Chorus]
G Em
Oh, when we're older
Bm C
Let's meet up and show the scars
G Em
We got when we were young
Bm C
We'll need them to tell us apart
G Em
Oh, when we're older
Bm C
Let's meet up and show the scars
G Em
We got when we were young
Bm C
We'll need them to tell us apart
Bm D
We'll need them to tell us apart
