Intro: G D C D
G
I'm carless on Rockland
D
Shackled to your song
C
The new year is in the flames
D
Of a far-away dawn
G
So sing me to reason
D
With your fatal lullaby
C
I no longer sleep
D
And I've forgotten how to try
G
I'm in love at 5 a.m.
D
I miss the way you draw
C
The damage that one day can do
D
To what you thought was law
G D C D
Mhh
G
I love you in the alleyway
D
I love you in the wrong
C
Wrong turns to trouble
D
In the ashes of your song
G
So hold me with impulse
D
See all the way through
C
The street creaked, I lost my cool
D
I need to talk to you
G
Am I the joke in the choke hold
D
Of your secret box?
C
The bottom of the bottle drawer
D
I'm sitting on the rocks
Em G D Em G D
G D
Body slides
D/F# C
I'm losing control
G D
You won't
D/F# Em
Bend with the fold
G D
And day breaks on
C G D Em
Keep doing what we're told
G D
Butterflies
C
Let them win control
G D
You won't

Bend with the fold
G
And day breaks on
C G D Em
I choose what I hold
