Chords relative to the capo on the 5th fret
Am
this is the window where
E
i watched the future start
G
my pupils dilated
Asus
the shock sped up my arms
Fmaj
i shut my ambushed eyes
G C
and turned my face towards the heat
Am
i felt the city choke
E
i heard the world at war
G
i prayed for providence
Asus
god said, ’don’t pray no more
Fmaj
you went and made your mess
G C
now keep your blame off my feet’
Am
so i got off my knees
E
i faced the devil’s day
G
the sky was murder red
Asus
the streets were headstone gray
Fmaj
a flaming ferris wheel
G F
spun where the sun used to be
F G
i watched its buckets dip and dance
F G
i saw a couple making love lock hands
C G Fbm C
they were pushing for abandon and the answers it could bring
E F G Am
90 million miles from the graveyard growing over everything
Am
i saw my lover chased

through fields of sugarcane
G
she clutched her belly close
Asus
and whispered, "keep us safe"
Fmaj
they ground her down to dust
G C
no more miracles today
Am
i dreamt myself awake
E
in a resort hotel
G
above a golden coast
Asus
beside my Southern belle
Fmaj
we heard the sea reborn
G C
in each singing shell
Am
and every coughing car
E
and every coiled snake
G
and every shrieking star
Asus
and every burning stake
Fmaj
dissolved to atmosphere
G C
all of everything, erased
F G
i spread into a distant hum
F G
i droned along with everyone
C G Fbm C
and the earth grew green and nursed herself to what she used to be
E F G C E
all our senseless shouting calmed to quiet in her ancient memory
Am G
and oh!, what a joy,
C
to be free.
