Knuckles White Dry
-Gang of Youths
[Intro]
D#min C# F#
C# F#
[Verse 1]
F#
Deep in the breath of a carrier
A#min
Coughing up blood is the worst case scenario
B
No way in hell is this happening
G#min
To us I don't care if it kills me
I promise you won't die, swear
F#
It's a sinker of sorts
It's a shitty occasion
A#min
We're driving my car from the city
B
Been shaving my knuckles white dry from the walls I've been punching
G#min
So where is the ticket, I'll park, you just leg it in
[Pre-chorus 1]
D#min
And you haven't cried much or nearly enough
B
But I'll scream at your chest for as long as I must
G#min B
Til it hears me
Do you think it hears me?
[Chorus]
F# B
Call off your dogs, we'll surrender no part of our love to the sun
The skin or the lungs
D#min G#min
Not today
B C#
Nor tomorrow
F# B
It's no kind of living afraid or unknown let the dead be the dead
D#min G#min
Let us live and disown all pretending
C# F# C#
From here until the car ride home
[Verse 2]
F# A#min
If I hear another I love you get well from someone we don't know or that I didn't tell
B
And I swear that I'll show them a vision of hell
G#min
It gets tiresome you know
F#
It's always the strangers who poke and they prod
A#min
And they drive all that shit deep inside of your blood
B
If miracles function
G#min
Then where is our god that's the question I pose
[Pre-chorus 2]
D#min
And you haven't changed much or nearly enough
B
But I scream at your chest for as long as I trust
G#min
That it hears me
B C#
Do you think it hears me?
[Chorus]
F# B
Call off your dogs, we'll surrender no part of our love to the sun
The skin or the lungs
D#min G#min
Not today
B B/C#
Nor tomorrow
F# B
It's no kind of living afraid or unknown let the dead be the dead
D#min G#min
Let us live and disown all pretending
C# F#
From here until the car ride home
[Coda] x4
B B/D# B/F
The car ride home
F#
Car ride home
[Ending]
B
The car ride home
G#min D#min C#
