Books From Boxes
Tuning: Standard E-A-D-G-B-E
[Intro]
Bb F Dm C Csus4 C Bb
[Verse 1]
Bb F Dm C
Night falls and towns become circuit boards
Bb C Dm
We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving
Bb F Dm C
From the air, stadium lights stand out like flares
C Csus4 C Bb
And all I know is that you''re sat here right next to me
[Verse 2]
Bb F Dm C
We rarely see warning signs in the air we breathe
Bb C Dm
Right now I feel each and every fragment
Bb C Dm C
This paper trail leads right back to you
Bb C Dm
You say you need me to step outside
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
C
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Dm F Bb
Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
C
In the long run, said you knew that this would happen
[Verse 3]
Bb F Dm C
Well this is something new but it turns out it was borrowed too
C Csus4 C Bb
Why does every let down have to be so thin?
Bb F Dm C
Rain explodes at the moment that the cab door closed
Bb C Dm
I feel the weight upon your kiss ambiguous
[Bridge 1]
Bb C Dm C
You have to leave, I appreciate that
Bb C Dm
But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
C
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Dm F Bb
Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
C
In the long run, said you knew that this would happen
[Bridge 2]
Bm G
Two bodies in motion
A
This is a matter of fact, it wasn''t built to last (x2)
[Chorus]
Dm F Bb
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
C
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Dm F Bb
Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
C
In the long run, said you knew that this would happen
[Outro]
Dm F Bb
The pounding rain continued it''s bleak fall
C
And we decided just to write after all, after all
Bb F Dm C Csus4 C Bb
Bb F Dm C
The pounding rain continued it''s bleak fall
Bb C Dm
And we decided just to write after all

Nightfalls
And towns become circuit boards
We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving
From the air
Stadium lights stand out like flares
All I know is that you''re sat here right next to me
We rarely see
Warning signs in the air we breathe
Right now, I feel each and every fragment
This paper trail leads right back to you
You say you need me to step outside

You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered Polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen
This is something new
But, it turns out it was borrowed, too
“Why does every letdown have to be so thin?”
Rain explodes

But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes

Scattered Polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen
Two bodies in motion
This is a matter of fact
It wasn''t built to last
Two bodies in motion

And we decided just to write after all (after all)
The pounding rain continued its bleak fall
And we decided just to write after all

Two bodies in motion, this is a matter of fact, it wasn’t built to last
Nightfalls
And towns become circuit boards
We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving
From the air
Stadium lights stand out like flares
All I know is that you''re sat here right next to me
We rarely see
Warning signs in the air we breathe
Right now, I feel each and every fragment
This paper trail leads right back to you
You say you need me to step outside
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered Polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen
This is something new
But, it turns out it was borrowed, too
“Why does every letdown have to be so thin?”
Rain explodes
At the moment that the cab door closed
I feel the weight upon your kiss; ambigous
You have to leave. I appreciate that
But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered Polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
In the long run, you said you knew that this would happen
Two bodies in motion
This is a matter of fact
It wasn''t built to last
Two bodies in motion

The pounding rain continued its bleak fall
And we decided just to write after all (after all)
The pounding rain continued its bleak fall
And we decided just to write after all
