Modern Ruin

Gm
All the neighbourhoods you knew and 
loved
Gm
All the streets that you played on
Gm
All the streams and the fields and 
parks
Bb
And all the lanes you roamed after 
dark
Gm
All the houses you grew up in
Gm
The floorboards you hid money in
Gm
The beds where you fucked for love
Bb
And all the beds where you fucked 
for fun

Gm
The idea that nobody dies
F            Gm                  
And when our hearts stop beating,
                     F
 we leave it behind
Gm               Bb             
It's just modern ruin, that's what 
Ab
they'll say
G          Bb                Ab
Flesh and blood just rotted away
Gm                 Bb           
Steel and concrete titans waiting to
Ab
 be enlightened

Gm                            Bb
All wanna go up in a ball of flame
Ab
All wanna burn out, not fade away

Gm
The cemeteries and their flesh 
bouquets
Gm
The rivers and the mountain lakes
Gm
The copper, the concrete, the iron, 
and gold
Gm                                
And all the stories that we never 
    Bb
told

Gm                             
All the nights we stayed up till 
   Ab
dawn
Gm                             
All the blankets laid out on the 
   Ab
lawn
Gm                          
And all the mornings, and the 
      Ab
afternoons
Gm                                
And all the evenings and the night
        Ab
 times too
              Gm                 
And all the bricks and the mortar 
       Bb          Ab
you called your home
            Gm                     
And all the glass and the metal and
       Bb          Ab
 the wood and the rope
               Gm               
And all the emptiness you filled 
      Bb          Ab
with hope
            Gm                     
And all the blood and the muscle 
       Bb          Ab
and the skin and the bone
            Gm                     
And all the veins and the cells and
       Bb          Ab
 the molecules
            Gm                     
And all the atoms divided that made
     Bb          Ab
 up you
            Gm                  Bb
And all the vast potential you 
          Ab
hold inside
            Gm                 Bb 
All the infinite darkness and all 
         Ab
of the light
