Intro: A
 
A 
Staring at the sun 
With no pants on 
How round and rosy 
She thinks she knows me 
Em               D2 
Fighting off a cold 
Em          D2       A 
Murdering a campfire song 

A 
Spitting in the wind 
From out a fast train 
Or on a causeway 
Trying to catch a bus 
Em            D2 
Swear I gotta move 
Em            D2    A 
Suffering the radio crime 

D2 
Whistle in the sweet pine trees 
The imaginary airport breeze 
   F#m   
It flickers and flows 
     D2 
Fans fires in the road 
    A                     E 
And all we wanna do is go home 
Bm 
Someone's gonna break your heart 
                        
              D     E 
One cold gray morning 

She sings 
F#m         C#m 
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh... 
D           A       E   
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh... 
A 
Should we take this town 
Do we want to 
Tear the whole thing down 
                     Em   D2  
Paint the rubble all tangerine 
Em             D2       A 
Shimmer in the gas main fires 

A 
We don't promise and we tell no lies 
Learn to paddle when the waters rise 
Em         D2 
Melancholy comes 
Em           D2      A 
Like a robin at your window 

D2 
So whistle in the sweet pine trees 
The imaginary airport breeze 
F#m 
It flickers and flows 
D2 
Fans fires in the road 
A                         E   
And all we wanna do is go home 
Bm 
Someone's gonna break your heart 
              D   E 
One cold gray morning 

The kids sing 
F#m         C#m 
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh... 
D           A       E   
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh... 

F#m     Abm          A           
And the traffic goes round and round 
Bm             F#m      E7           D 
Swallowing the road and spitting out clouds 
        E7         F#m 
And the spirit she hides 
     C#m                   D 
On a damp path of moss and stone 
       Bm          F#m            A     E 
From a fear we are born with and never outgrow 
                      F#m  
And what else you can keep 
     Abm       A        D  
Your American cash and smile 
        Bm 
And the suits sing 
F#m         C#m 
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh... 
D           A       E   
Oh whoa oh, oh whoa oh... 

Someone's gonna break your heart (3x)
