verse 1

C
hold on , there’s a hole in my heart

Dm
everyone can see right through me

( Em ) F
it goes all the way to the waves

G F G
where my love she tried to wash it away

C
see we break for the summers so she can find lovers

Dm
she thinks that they’re bottles of wine

( Em ) F
they make you dinner and they sing you to sleep

G F G
but by the morning find the bottle is empty

Am
’cause she never gives it the time

Dm
every bottle she finds , they don’t compare

( Em ) F
to the ones she left behind; there is never a note

G F G
so she waits for me to come back home

chorus 1

C
i’m looking for a dead end song

Dm
you wish that smoke could change its color

F
i love it when you talk so much

G F
and act like nothing went wrong

G C
i’m looking for a dead end song

Dm
we sit and find flaws in everyone

F
i want to keep you by my side

G
holding off tidal waves

verse 2

C
“mint car” is keeping us warm

Dm
she lays crossed upon the bed

( Em ) F
we are puzzles making shapes with our hands

G F G
i take my finger , turn it into a pen

Am
then i run my hand down your spine

Dm
you guess to write something profound , something like :

( Em )
“our love will last ’til we die”

F
i say “you’re good at this game”

G
but what i really wrote is

F G
how i’ve yet to be saved

chorus 2

C
i’m looking for a dead end song

Dm
you wish that smoke could change its color

F
i love it when you talk so much

G F
and act like nothing went wrong

G C
i’m looking for a dead end song

Dm
we sit and find flaws in everyone

F
i want to keep you by my side

G
holding off tidal waves

G

refrain

Am Em
i’m searching for a dead end song

Am Em
you wish that smoke could change its color

Dm G
i wanna get you right by my side

Am Em
i’m searching for a dead end song

Am Em
we sit and find flaws in everyone

Dm G
i want to keep you right by my side
