Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
CF
Do you believe in anything?
FEm
Or do you carry it around just to burn things down?
Am
Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,
CF
where we believe in everything.
FEm
If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,
FEm
so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now
FEm
with our God who we found laying under the back seat.
C
What did you learn tonight?
GAm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
FC
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
G
You are freezing over hell
Am
You are bringing on that end you do so well
F
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Am
Oh, order your daughters to ignore me
C
think that will sort me?
FFEm7EmEm7EmEm7
and sweep me under the rug?
F
while you're beating with a book
Em7EmEm7EmEm7
everyone that book tells you to love.
Am
There is an ember in the heart of this kiln
CFFEm7EmE7EmEm7
and it's burning hot with love.
FEm7EmEm7EmEm7
Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust
FEm7EmEm7EmEm7
then rolling me with care into your cigarette
FEm7EmEm7EmEm7
cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.
C
What did you learn tonight?
GAm
while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.
FC
You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.
G
You are freezing over hell
Am
You are bringing on that end you do so well
F
and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.
Interlude:
A|---3---| make these power chords (relative to capo)
E|-5---1-|Am
Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?
CFFEm7EmEm7EmEm7
Do you believe in anything,
FEm7EmEm7EmEm7
or do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?
Chorus:
CGAmFCGAmFC
Feels like,
We could escape this.
G
And I might,
Throw it away,
AmF
In fear of the silver sun.
C
If you try,
G
running a maze of your lies,
Your to hard to save,
Am
If you've,
Thrown out,
F
Everyone.
