The Road To Nowhere

Em
The lightning climbing up the walls
Em
The finger drawings on the glass
C
The map of those who used to live 
here
C
Until the gilded hand was broken
Em
Often there's a voice in my sleeping
 mind
Em
The words inside my skull at night
C
But once I wake, I cannot read them
C                                 
My bloody hands remain a question 
G
mark


[Chorus]
                               A#
Sifting through the hiccups of time
                               C
We'll hide in the bones of the city
The engines sing along with their 
G
cries
                     A#
This song, it spells disaster
                            C
But it's buried beneath the laughter

[Verse]
Em
The words that fall from out their 
mouths
Em
Can change in your hands and split 
the skin
C
So I will keep myself apart
C
from shining eyes and privileged 
boredom
Em
The thing that I've learned from 
unusual blood
Em
Is never touch a person's comfort
C
The voice of change is often heard
C                                 G
But fear itself has come to visit


[Chorus]
                               A#
Sifting through the hiccups of time
                               C
We'll hide in the bones of the city
The engines sing along with their 
G
cries
                     A#
This song, it spells disaster
                         C
But we drown it out with laughter

[Other]
        G
And our eyes
They were always pointed at the sky 
               C
looking for an answer
        G
And our hands
They were stained in black and grey 
             C
busy solving problems
        Em                         
And our backs all bear the load of 
all the things we'll never know 
         C
until it breaks us
           Em
And in the comfort of the Earth we 
will not wonder what we're worth
                  C
No, we will sleep soundly
