E, E7sus4, Aadd9, Asus 


verse 1: 

E                E7sus4             Aadd9        G 
As someone sets light to the first fire of Autumn 
 E             E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus 
 We settle down to cut ourselves apart. 
E            E7sus4        Aadd9        G 
Cough and twitch from the news on your face 
 E               E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus 
And some foreign candle burning in your eyes                          


POST-verse 1/PRE-verse 2: 

E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G  
E, E7sus4, Aadd9, Asus 


verse 2: 

E            E7sus4       Aadd9           G 
 Held to the past, too aware of the pending 
 E                   E7sus4 Aadd9               Asus 
 Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale 
 E         E7sus4        Aadd9           G 
 Enter the fog another low road descending 
  E               E7sus4 Aadd9                Asus 
 Away from the cold lust, your house and summertime 

Aadd9 




  A             Em         A 
 Blind to the last cursed affair 
           
   Em             A 
 Pistols and countless eyes 
     Em              A 
 A trail of white blood betrays 
         C              D 
 The reckless route your craft is running 
  A             Em              A 
 Feed till the sun turns into wood 
      Em           A 
 Dousing an ancient torch 
             Em 
 Loiter the whole day through 
       C                   D                 A 
 And lose yourself in lines dissecting love 


POST-Chorus/PRE-Verse: 

E, E7sus4, Aadd9, G  
E, E7sus4, Aadd9, Asus 


verse 3: 

 E            E7sus4         Aadd9           G 
 Your name on my cast and my notes on your stay 
 E        E7sus4 Aadd9            Asus 
 Offer me little but doting on a crime 
 E                  E7sus4       Aadd9           G 
 We've turned every stone and for all our inventions 
 E              E7sus4    Aadd9               Asus 
 In matters of love lost, we've no recourse at all 

Aadd9 




  A             Em         A 
 Blind to the last cursed affair 
             Em             A 
 Pistols and countless eyes 
     Em              A 
 A trail of white blood betrays 
         C              D 
 The reckless route your craft is running 

  A             Em              A 
 Feed till the sun turns into wood 
             Em           A 
 Dousing an ancient torch 
             Em 
 Loiter the whole day through and 
   C                    D 
 Lose yourself in lines dissecting, 
   C                    D            C                     D 
 Lose yourself in lines dissecting, lose yourself in lines dissecting
