[Intro]
G Em C D
G Em C D (x2)
[Verse 1]
G
We saw the western coast
C
I saw the hospital
Em C
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
G
Reports of lover's tryst
C
Were neither clear nor descript
Em
We kept it safe and slow
C
The quiet things that no one ever knows
[Chorus] (x2)
G
So keep the blood in your head
Em
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C
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]
G
I contemplate the day we wed
C
Your friends are boring me to death
Em C
Your veil is ruined in the rain
G
By then it's you I can do without
C
There's nothing new to talk about
Em
And though our kids are blessed
C
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
[Chorus]
G
So keep the blood in your head
Em
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C
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
[Bridge 1]
(quietly)
G, Em, C, D (x2)
G Em
I lie for, only you,
C D
And I lie well, hallelu (x2)
[Bridge 2]
(intense)
G Em
I lie for, only you
C D
And I lie well, hallelu (x2)
[Chorus]
G
So keep the blood in your head
Em
And keep your feet on the ground
If today's the day it gets tired
C
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
