Pennies On The Track

Bm G A

[Verse 1]
Bm               G      A    Bm          G    A
Putting pennies on the track, shiny and flat,
Bm              G      A     Bm          G    A
It was the best we could be, sexy and free
Bm                G   A Bm                 G    A
I grow away from myself with each passing bell
Bm               G      A               Bm            G    A
With all these new accessories, I just stumble and bleed

[Chorus]
D            A
For a moment I feel the coldness
C#m             G
At the end of a fall day
D                   A
I put my hands down deep in my pockets
G          F#
As my body awakes

[Verse 2]
Bm               G      A    Bm              G    A
So I'm heading back to school all brilliant and new,
Continúa después del anuncio
Bm               G      A    Bm               G    A
Trying hard to fit in and not to walk like a man
Bm               G      A    Bm               G    A
A girl that I never noticed asked me to hold this
Bm               G      A    Bm          G    A
A secret too hard to tell and I never will

[Chorus]
D            A
For a moment I feel the coldness
C#m                      G
Of everything that's been taken away
D                   A
I put the phone back in the cradle,
G                F#
I can't make this okay

[Bridge]
Bm         G         A
The damage she'll survive
Bm            G     A
But damn the sacrifice of
Bm     G          A
Every life we've lost
              G             F#
Damn all the cost of the assault

[Verse 3]
Bm               G      A
You tied a knot and you dared me,
Bm               G      A
The stem of a cherry,
Bm               G      A
To find my own humanity
Bm               G      A
And just let it breathe

[Chorus]
D                A
Hold my head up in this moment
C#m                      G
Keep myself from fading away
D                   A
Pull my hands out of pockets and
G                F#
Feel my body awake
