VERSE
E
All the boys who called their mothers on that day
We know, tough bunch, but they had the nerves, to go and say
B A
That all your secrets were drowned
B A
With the pioneers who were flooded from this town
B A
They packed their bags only moments to late
A B
With the pounding waves crashing up against the weakened water gates
CHORUS
E A B E
'Cause dire times, call for dire faces
A B
So lovely dancer, call a dancer
E A
Trading places in the night
A
We're running barefoot, you and I
A
Dead lovers salivate
A E
Broken hearts tessellate
(Just follow the same patterns as above and listen to the song for timing)
VERSE 2
And all the kids who cut their knees on that old school yard fence
Were holding out for prosperity in self defense
PRE CHORUS 2
We beat them down again
There’s no fun playing cowboys for pretend
We showed them what the backs of our hands are for
The devide is clear in the coming year the rich will take the poor
CHORUS
'Cause dire times, call for dire faces
So lovely dancer, call a dancer
Trading places in the night
We're running barefoot, you and I
Dead lovers salivate
Broken hearts tessellate
