Intro:

G Bm C G (D)


 
G                                Bm
In one of those they say we must watch your name drop over and over again

C                               G     D
No-one knows the reason nothing stays

G                         Bm
And maybe she's long gone breaking backs in too many middle states

C                                   G   D
No-one knows the difference all the way



C                                     D
So open your lungs, they're bleeding, cover your bones, give it right back

C                                      D
'Cause these girls are done believing, holding their breath until they collapse



G                               Bm
Split lips, gone swollen faces, slip down the ice on Western Avenue

C                                           G            D
And I've been to slower places, seen colder days, we can stay

G                                Bm
You know enough for me to trust, so crush it up, put me back together

C                                          G                 D
But if you have to make us pay, what can I say? Just keep me away.



C                              D
Three names and one condition, count the ways to put it all back

C                                D
Long lines and bold predictions, holding your breath until the impact



    G              C            Em                             D
And don't leave me out, keep my place under the ground for the air we're breathing

    G               C         Em                                D
And don't fuck around, simple words will make the darker places less deceiving



Em     Bm
Slow ~ down
        C                              D
Talking loud to lonely faces, time can tell these days are not worth saving

Em     Bm
Slow ~ down

        C                                 D                 
Waiting for the cold to stop still close enough to lose the thaw, waging a war on words you forgot to say

G                                   Bm
No matter what, she's done with us, so give up, there's nothing you can say

C                                        G         D
Forget me in times like these, just get away, far away from my

G                           Bm                      
Old pain and new addiction, nothing strong, nothing left to mix with this

C                                    G                    D
Just slow roads and open spaces with nothing left to fix, so please



C                                  D  
Open your lungs, they're bleeding, cover your bones, give it right back

C                                      D
'Cause these girls are done believing, holding their breath until they collapse

C                               D
These girls are done believing, these girls are done believing

C                               D
These girls are done believing, these girls are done believing



    G              C            Em                             D   
And don't leave me out, keep my place under the ground for the air we're breathing

    G           C             Em                                D                      
And don't fuck around, simple words will make the darker places less deceiving, don't leave me out
