Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Meet me tonight on the turnpike my darling,

where we believe in everything.

If we sweat all these debts then we're sure to drown,

so let's strap ourselves up to this engine now

with our God who we found laying under the back seat.

What did you learn tonight?

while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.

 You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.

 You are freezing over hell

 You are bringing on that end you do so well

 and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

 Oh, order your daughters to ignore me

 think that will sort me?

 and sweep me under the rug?

 while you're beating with a book

 everyone that book tells you to love.

There is an ember in the heart of this kiln

 and it's burning hot with love.

Burning out my center till there's nothing but dust

then rolling me with care into your cigarette

 cause the God i believe in never worked on a campaign trail.

What did you learn tonight?

while shouting so loud, you barely joyous, broken thing.

 You are a voice that never sings, is what i say.

 You are freezing over hell

 You are bringing on that end you do so well

 and you can only blame yourself, is what is say.

Who do you carry that torch for, my young man?

Do you believe in anything,

 or do you carry it around just to burn things to the ground?

Chorus

Feels like,

We could escape this.

 And I might,

Throw it away,

 In fear of the silver sun.

If you try,

 running a maze of your lies,

Your to hard to save,

 If you've,

Thrown out,

 Everyone.
