[Intro]
N.C.
[Verse 1]
Em
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
D
When you slipped it into my mouth
Cmaj7
I closed my eyes and held it in
Am
Then I exhaled it out
Em
The glow of the downtown lights
D
Casting shadows across your face
Cmaj7
As if all the buildings knew
E
I could only know half of you
[Verse 2]
Em
And I was a snake under your flowers
D
I just wanted to disappear
Cmaj7
Into the understory of your beauty
Am
Never to reappear
Em
But there’s a name written on your cast
D
Above the bruised and broken bones
Cmaj7
It tells everybody that you need
E
To whom the damage is owеd
[Chorus]
Am
We are a wave of whitе noise
Fmaj7
Beneath the city sleeping
C
I saw the train doors closing
D
I felt your sorrow deepen
Am
Here in the asphalt meadows
Fmaj7
There’s only one thing that grows
C
Finding the life through the concrete
D Cmaj7 Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet
[Verse 3]
Em
You set all your bridges in rows
D
They all lead to an airport
Cmaj7
Planes drifting off into the sky
Am
Always depart, but never seem to arrive
Em
And there in the early hour
D
Lying naked in your unmade bed
Cmaj7
I was thinking of how to tell you
E
What my ticket read
[Bridge]
Em
Your kiss was a lonely prayer
D
A single candle, slowly burning down
Cmaj7
But the light, your light was beautiful
E
Then it’s here and now
[Chorus]
Am
We are a wave of whitе noise
Fmaj7
Beneath the city sleeping
C
I saw the train doors closing
D
I felt your sorrow deepen
Am
Here in the asphalt meadows
Fmaj7
There’s only one thing that grows
C
Finding the life through the concrete
D Cmaj7 Am
Getting trampled under our feet
Am
We are a wave of whitе noise
Fmaj7
Beneath the city sleeping
C
I saw the train doors closing
G
I felt your sorrow deepen
Am
Here in the asphalt meadows
Fmaj7
There’s only one thing that grows
C
Finding the life through the concrete
D Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet
D Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet
Cmaj7 D
Getting trampled under our feet
Cmaj7 Cmaj7
Getting trampled under our feet
