Asphalt Meadows Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Your [Em]kiss was a lonely praye[D]r
When you slipped it into my [C]mouth
I closed my eyes and held [Am]it in
And then I exhaled it [Em]out
The glow of the downtown light[D]s
Casting shadows across [C]your face
As if all the buildings [Am]knew[E]
I could only know half of [Em]you

[Verse 2]
And I was [Em]a snake under your [D]flowers
I just wanted to [C]disappear
Into the understory of your beau[Am]ty
Never to [Em]reappear
But there's a name writ on your [D]cast
Above the bruised and
broken [C]bones
That tells everybody that you [E]meet
To whom the damage is [Am]owed

[Verse 3]
We are a [Am]wave of white [F]noise
Beneath the city [C]sleeping
I saw the train doors [D]closing
I felt your sorrow [Am]deepen
Here in the asphalt [F]meadows
There's only one thing that [C]grows
Finding the light through
[D]the concrete
Getting [C]trampled under our feet

[Verse 4]
[Em]
You said all your bridges and [D]roads
They all lead to an [C]airport
Planes drifting off into [Am]the sky
Always depart, but never seem to arrive
An[Em]d there in the early hou[D]r
Lying naked in your unmade [C]bed
I was thinking of how to tell [Am]you[E]
What my ticket [Em]read

[Verse 5]
Your [Em]kiss was a lonely [D]prayer
A single candle slowly burning [C]down
But the light, your light was beauti[Em]ful
[E]Than it's here and now[Am]

[Verse 6]
We are a [Am]wave of white [F]noise
Beneath the city [C]sleeping
I saw the train doors [D]closing
I felt your sorrow [Am]deepen
Here in the asphalt [F]meadows
There's only one thing that [C]grows
Finding the light through
the [D]concrete
Getting [C]trampled under [Am]our feet

[Verse 7]
We rode a [Am]wave of white [F]noise
Beneath the city [C]sleeping
I saw the train doors [G]closing
I felt your sorrow [Am]deepen
Here in the asphalt [F]meadows
There's only one thing that [C]grows
Finding the light through
the [D]concrete
Getting [C]trampled under our feet

[Verse 8]
Getting [D]trampled under [C]our feet
Getting trampled under [D]our feet
Getting [C]trampled under

[Outro 1]
our feet
