[Intro]
B C#m G#m F# B F# G#m F# x2
[Verse 1]
G#m E
I recoil at every detail
F# E
Recounting all the sighs
B G#m
I’ve exhaled I piece
E
together the tale
F#
In the tidelines of
E B
the ships that set sail
[Verse 2]
G#m
With notes tucked into pockets
E
Under wipers between sheets
F#
or bike spokes And every
E B G#m
couplet I wrote The ephemera
of past lives plastic
E
trinkets artifacts that I
F# E
stole To feed the candle I hold
[Instrumental]
B C#m G#m F# B F# G#m F#
[Verse 3]
E F#
I held my breath like
G#m F#
folly chasing after death
E
Until the only thing that’s
F# G#m E
left to do was run I bit my
F# G#m
tongue until my mouth was
F# E
full of blood Til everything
F# B
and everyone I knew was gone
[Chorus 1]
E B
Now Denver in winter dreams
G#m F# E
in a dull metallic blue
E B
It blacks out the bravery
G#m F# E
I am forever overdue
E B
But if even just one word of
G#m F#
this barstool prophecy rings
E E
true I’d like to watch
F#
the lights go out with you
[Instrumental]
B C#m G#m F# B F# G#m F#
then
B
then
B D#m G#m B E D#m F#
[Bridge]
B
I’d believe you if you
D#m G#m B
said We were already dead
E D#m
There was no hope of rescue
F# B
coming through I can purge
F#/A# G#m
my heavy head of the specters
B E
in my bed But the only
F# B
one I dream about is you
[Chorus 2/Outro]
E B
Now Denver in winter dreams
G#m F# E
in a dull metallic blue
E B
It blacks out the honesty
G#m F# E
You were always overdue
E B
But if even just one word of
G#m F#
this barstool prophecy rings
E E
true I’d like to watch
F# B
the lights go out with you
