[Intro]
E G#aug C# Cm Bm A
E A B7 E A E
[Verse 1]
E G#aug C#m Cm Bm A
Well I watched my heroes fall
E F# B
I saw them crumble one and all
E G#aug C#m Cm Bm A
And a chorus of no-s from a gallery of those
E A B7 E A E
Who will never see so straight or stand so tall
[Verse 2]
E G#aug C#m Cm Bm A
All the guardian angels, the blanket forts and fake hells
E F# B
All told me to sacrifice myself
E G#aug C#m Cm Bm A
On a funeral prye with my body on fire
E A B7 E A E
I sat straight up and cast off all the spells
[Chorus]
C#m C B7 E
With the gates open wide and my lover in sight
G#7 C#m A D
I called her name out loud in the middle of the night
E G#7 C#m C#dim7 A#dim7
And the dawn it breaks and the morning's warm embrace
E A B7 E A E
Illuminates my lover's face
[Verse 3]
E G#aug C#m Cm Bm A
My sisters went very south and west and I went east
E F# B
We're all still fighting off our demons in our sleep
E G#aug C#m Cm Bm A
We cascade to the coasts where we mostly can boast
E A B7 E A E
That we are living better than well
[Verse 4]
C#m Cm B7 E
But Maria, when are you gonna settle down?
G#7 C#m A D
I see your pictures and the question practically answers itself
E G#7 C#m C#dim7 A#dim7
When the back car seats on lower tiers that we have known for years
E A B7 E A E
Has finally had their way with all of us
[Instrumental]
E C#m B A Ab C#dim7 A#dim7
E F# B
E G#aug C#m A A7 A
E A B7 E A E
[Chorus]
C#m C B7 E
I was terrified and dry and wide eyed, all sentimental
G#7 C#m A D
I rubbed the fog with my sleeve off of the early morning window
E G#7 C#m C#dim7 A#dim7
And the dawn it breaks and the morning's warm embrace
E A B7 E A E
Illuminates my lover's face
E A B E
It illuminates my future face
