[D][A][Asus4][D][Asus4][D][Asus4][D][A]
[D][A][D][A][D][A]
[Asus4][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]We're character actors from the Tower of Babel
[A]Bewildered, burnt [Am]out, hardly [A]able
[D]To sit astride the high wire cable
[Asus4]It's hard to balance,
a [Am]little [A]unstable

[Verse 2]
[G]Through broken [D]eyes
[C]and con[G]tact lenses
I watched you draw your future [A]tenses
See [E]kisses of [A]flame blow
out of your lips
You're back telling me

[Verse 3]
your Apocalypse
[G]Don't get me wrong, I'll [A]be [Bm]strong
When the slow burn sunset
[F#m]come a[E]long[A]
[G]You've gotta sta[A]y the[D] nig[F#m]ht[E][A]
[G]I gotta thi[D]nk that you[C] might

[Am]
We've [A]tried a

[Verse 4]
[D]handful of bills
and a handful of pills
We've [A]tried making movies
from a [Am]volume of [C]stills
[D]Words fell like hailstones
bouncing at our [A]feet
Covering our feeling[Asus4]s
with a [A]frozen [Am]sheet[A][G]
A [D]chance to move,

[Verse 5]
[C]I take a shot
I get [D]cold, [G]you get hot
[A]We look out[E]side, ly [A]in' awake
See birds [E]breaking [A]surface on a silent lake

[Verse 6]
But [G]don't get me wrong, [A]I'll [Bm]be strong
When I'm back on the Isle
of Avalon
[F#m][E][A]

[Verse 7]
[G]Don't get me wrong, [A]I'll [Bm]be strong
When the slow burn sunset
[F#m]come a[E]long[A]
[G]You've got to [A]stay the[D] night[F#m][E][A]
[G]I've got to [A]think you mig[C]ht
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 8]
[Em]
Don't [F#m]try to make it ea[D]sy,
it'll [G]cut you down to [A]size[D][A][Asus4][A][Em]
Darlin' we've [D]gotta trust
in something
[G]We're shooting down our [A]skies[D][Asus4]
