[Dm7] [D#maj7] [D#] [G#] [D#maj7] [D#] [G#] [D#maj7] [D#] [G#] [D#maj7] [D#] [G#] [Fm] [A#] [Dm] [D#] [G#] [D] [D#] [G#] [D#maj7] [D#]

Verse 1

We [G#]were sure we'd never see it and [Fm]do it [A#]all
They [D#]don't even [D#maj7]care [G#]to shake these ember blues
[D#]And we don't know [G#maj7]just where our bones are
No rest [D#][D#maj7]to dance, I guess, [G#]God [G#maj7]if never saw [Fm]to the [A#]earth below

Verse 2

[D#maj7] [D#] [G#] [D#maj7] [D#]
Jub [G#]across the vacant and the void
[D#maj7][D#]Then [G#]at church's whitely heaven store
[D#maj7] [D#] [G#]
Moffy sitting in slip and do's [F]down to sea

Verse 3

[G#]We don't [D#][D#maj7]even care [G#maj7]as restless as we are
[D#]We feel the calm [G#]in the land of the [D#]thousand girls
For [D#maj7]some man [G#maj7]lamented and shone [A#]into the lights

Verse 4

In towns [Cm]below, [G#]you fly [A#]us to that sweet [C]town
[G#]Last [A#]man longed, [C]we [G#]got a little needy [F]sound
[A#] [D#]

Verse 5

Justy [G#]never knew the rules
[D#maj7][D#]Hung [G#]down with the freaks and goo
[Gm][D#]No [G#]pouches ever need me made
[D#maj7][D#]Are [G#]you better than you thinkin' [Fm7][A#]to see

Verse 6

We [D#]don't [D#maj7]even care [G#]to shake these ember blues
[D#]And [D#maj7]we don't know [G#maj7]just where our bones [D#]are
No rest to [D#maj7]dance, I guess, [G#]God if never saw to [Fm][Cm]the [A#]earth below

Outro

[Gm][D#]The [G#]street heats the urgency of now
[D#maj7][D#]As [G#]you see there's no one around
[D#]
