Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
[Verse 1]
C Em
These bodies belong in a tangle of sense
F C G
An angle of shame a whiff of innocence
F G C Am
I kissed you at dawn, and you kissed me right back
F G
And we waited for the sun to show
C Em
You made a bad joke, sounded just like my dad
F C G
but looked like a kid in a big winter hat
F G C Am
And waited impatient for traffic to pass
F G
Said goodbye and stepped into the road
[Chorus]
G C
What answers are found in the roads we go down?
F C G
What secrets do latitudes hold?
Am Em
No matter how tightly I hold on to you
F G C
We're all at these outposts alone
[Verse 2]
C Em
My deal came undone, my roots came all up
F C G
With connections asunder and friends far away
F G C Am
You wrote me a letter, I didn't write back
F G
I was too full of something to say
C Em
Yesterday's prayers sit in this morning's trees
F C G
They squabble like crows that won't ever know peace
F G C Am
Until suddenly risen as one they are gone
F G
Lifted like a black cloud to the sky
[Chorus]
G C
What answers are found in the roads we go down?
F C G
What secrets do latitudes hold?
Am Em
No matter how tightly I hold on to you
F G C
We're all at these outposts alone
[Bridge]
Em F C
Hallelujah I sing
Em F Am
Hallelujah I bring
G F C G
Words are so hard to say and so easy to mean
[Verse 3]
C Em
Inclement mix on an off-beaten path
F C G
I kissed you at dawn but you pulled away
F G C Am
And it's really alright and it's rarely ok
F G
Fix your eyes up ahead and move on
[Chorus]
G C
What answers are found in the roads we go down?
F C G
What secrets do latitudes hold?
Am Em
No matter how tightly I hold on to you
F G C
We're all at these outposts alone
