Guitar One

Verse:
(Between the Intro/Chorus and verse, strum Gb for five eighth notes and      
 rest for three eighth notes)

Gb
We saw the western coast
Bmaj7
I saw the hospital
Ebm
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Dbm dim
............................
Gb
Reports of lovers’ trysts
Bmaj7
We’re neither clear nor descript
Ebm
We kept it safe and slow
Dbm dim
The quiet things that no one ever knows

Chorus

Gb
Keep the blood in your head
and keep your feet on the ground
Ebm
Today’s the day it gets tired
today’s the day we drop out
Bmaj7
Give up my body in bed 
all for an empty hotel
Dbm dim
Wasting words on 
lower cases and capitals

Verse two:

Gb
I contemplate the day we wed
Bmaj7
Your friends are boring me to death
Ebm
Your veil is ruined in the rain
Dbm dim
............................
Gb
By then you I could do without
Bmaj7
There’s nothing new to talk about
Ebm
And though our kids are blessed
Dbm dim
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame

Bridge I:
(Strum the chords from the chorus once and let ring) 

Bridge II:

Gb 
I

Ebm
Lie 

Bmaj7
For only 

Dbm dim 
You

Gb

Well

Bmaj7 Dbm dim
Hallelujah
