verse 1 :
F Dm
let’s call this the quiet city
where screams are felt
A#
as a wave of stoplights
C
drive through the streets as
F
gunshots punctuate the night
Dm
the sides we take divide
A#
us from our faith
C
and the morning dove gets
Dm
caught in the telephone wire
F Dm
asleep you set the fire
A# C Dm F
in your own house
and the night was
Dm A#
a knife that cut
C
and i’m para – –

A# Dm
cross out the eyes
A# Dm
blur all the lines
A# C
tearing this canvas
Dm
from the wall
A# Dm
we crossed out the eyes
A# Dm
put lines through these cries
A# C
we pulled all the leaves
Dm
from the trees that fall
( your trees that fall
your trees that fall
your trees that fall
your trees that fall )

verse 2 :
F
a silent dance that we
Dm A#
did into this hospital bed
Dm
hear voices from another room
F
“it happens all the time”
Dm
but you leave in the sand
A#
the leaves fallen
C
counting down days to live
drain the blood
F A#
from this valentine!
Dm
“we can rise on the
A#
wings of the dove
Dm
see blue skies getting caught
F A#
in the trail of all this smoke
Dm
we can rise like candles in
A#
the dark – yours always”
C
and an envelope marked with
Dm
your new address
F Dm
asleep you set the fire
A# C Dm F
in your own house
and the night was
Dm A#
a knife that cut
C
and i’m para – –

verse 3 :
Am
it was the first
time face to face
i’m crossing the line
talking to the other
side of death
hearing the words that choke
memories into flatlines
i’m calling your name
hoping for something
to wash these dreams
of you away
Dm A# Dm A# Dm A# C – –
( till we die! )

( memories in flatlines! )

F
fence was blown down in A
Gm
winter storm and this field
( cross out the eyes! )
Dm
stretches out of this
Gm
world into the sound
( a trace of! )
F
what can we do put a stop to
Gm
the coming white days
( in a love song! )
Dm
i’m hoping for something to wash
C ( hold )
these dreams of you away
( stretches out of this world
lets drive back the dead
stretches out of this world
stretches out of this world )
