[Intro]
C F7 Am G/B
[Verse 1]
C F7 Am G/B
Are you alone in these northern states
C F7 Am G/B
Lost in chemicals and your grave fate
C F7 Am G/B
Like stars they got lost in the cities shine
C F7 Am G/B
Remember how you sewed yourself back with bailing twine
[Instrumental]
C F7 Am G/B
[Verse 2]
C F7 Am G/B
And in this house you found
C F7 Am G/B
All my painting that you could not read
C F7 Am G/B
Those chemicals won't let you see
C F7 Am G/B
All that I am and will not be
[Chorus]
C F Am G
But when there's nothing left in your star lit sky
C F Am G
All lost in the summer heat of this empty July
C F Am G
And let the catalyst of your aging shine
C F Am G C
Because it's the painter and the chemist who see the beauty in the absence of light
[Instrumental]
C F Am G
[Verse 3]
C F7 Am G/B
Now on the bow you stand
C F7 Am G/B
All left with nothing to show but your empty hands
C F7 Am G/B
Now call out
C F7 Am G/B
To those ghosts they'll never show you land
[Chorus]
C F Am G
But when there's nothing left in your star lit sky
C F Am G
All lost in the summer heat of this empty July
C F Am G
And let the catalyst of your aging shine
C F Am G C
Because it's the painter and the chemist who see the beauty in the absence of light
[Outro]
C F Am G
