[Verse]
 E                D               
"as someone sets light to the 
   A        G
first fire of Autumn
 E          D        A           
 we settle down, to cut ourselves
   D
 apart.
 E          D               A    
 cough and twitch from the news 
        G
on your face
 E                    D       A  
 and some foreign candle burning 
         D
in your eyes

               E       D      A  
     G

     D

  E          D           A       
 held to the past, too aware of 
   G
the pending
  E                  D          A
 chill as the dawn breaks and 
              D
finds us up for sale
  E         D           A    
 enter the fog another low road 
           G
descending
  E              D               
 away from the cold lust, your 
A              D          A
house and summertime

[Chorus]
(Change from slow strumming of A to 
fast strumming before chorus)
  A              G          A
 blind to the last cursed affair
Continues after the ad
             G             A
 pistols and countless eyes
     G              A
 a trail of white blood betrays
         C              D         
 the reckless route your craft is 
       A
running
  A             G              A
 feed till the sun turns into wood
             G           A
 dousing an ancient torch
             G
 loiter the whole day through
       C                   
 and lose yourself in lines 
D                 A
dissecting love

[Verse]
 E               D              A
 your name on my cast and my 
           G
notes on your stay
 E          D       A            
 offer me little but doting on a 
D
crime
 E                  D            
 we've turned every stone and for
A            G
 all our inventions
 E                D              
 in matters of love lost, we've 
A             D         A
no recourse at all

[Chorus]
 A              G           A
 blind to the last cursed affair
                G         A
 pistols and countless eyes
                    G
 a trail of white blood betrays

 the reckless route your craft is

running

 dousing an ancient torch
                G                
 loiter the whole day through and 
    C                 D
lose yourself in lines dissecting,
   C                    D         
 lose yourself in lines 
   C                     D
dissecting, lose yourself in lines 
dissecting..."
