[Intro]
G, Em7, Cadd9, D
[Verse]
G
We saw the western coast
Em7
I saw the hospital
Cadd9 D
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
G
Reports of lover's tryst
Em7
We're neither clear nor descript
Cadd9
We kept it safe and slow
D
The quiet things that no one ever knows
[Chorus] x2
G
So keep the blood in your head
Em7
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Cadd7
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
D
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
[Verse 2]
(same as first)
I contemplate the day we wed
Your friends are boring me to death
Your veil is ruined in the rain
By then it's you I can do without
There's nothing new to talk about
And though our kids are blessed
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
[Chorus] x2
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
[Bridge] x2
G Em7 Cadd9 D
I lie for only you
G Em7 Cadd7
And I lie well...
D
Hallelu...
[Chorus] x2
(words from bridge continued in the background)]
So keep the blood in your head
And keep your feet on the ground
Today's the day it gets tired
Today's the day we drop out
Gave up my body and bed
All for an empty hotel
Wasting words on lower cases and capitals
