Em Em B
The train’s motion
Em C
Untidy echo
Em A Em Bm C Bm
And she pants
C Bm
She asked me why I’m here but I come here every night
Em Bm Em C
Do you need to tell her something? No I need a place to write
Em
And as the sea of darkness forms and casts us into night
Bm C Am
You ask me what her name was called but I found it hard to write
Bm Am
One time I was impaled forlorn and thrown into a pile
Em B C
I said you know where I’m coming from and she looked me in the eye
B
Loverboy you drown too quick
Am
You’re fading out of sight
Em Bm C
Is it the numb density? Can’t even look her in the eye
Bm A
Where tiny men have been absorbed for questioning the sky
Em Bm C
To when and where the stars were formed, that glance upon this night
Em Bm G A
Lightyears to sit upon and paint us as we lie
Em Bm C
And to think it’s us she’s wasted on, can’t even look her in the eye
Em A
See I’ve found a new place to mourn, she asked me who died
Em B Em C
Well if there’s a darker uniform, I need a place to hide
Em B A
As simple as his faith had gone, the burning of the spire
Em B Am Em D
And yet he still searched for warmth but it was cold by the fire
Em D Am
She grips me tight, she grips me tight
C Bm G Am
But I still rip at the seams
Em F#m G
I can’t sleep at night, never slept at night
C Bm G A
But she still sits in my dreams
Em F#m C
I’m out of sight, so out of sight
Em Bm D A
But she sees what I see, she’s watching me
Em C B Em C G Em D Em
She’s still watching me
D
She still sees what I see
Bm G
The train’s motion
Untidy echo
