Standard (EADGBE)

x2

Verse 1

:

we met one day in wet cement

 where we glued our eyes shut

 and pressed with our fists

and while the trees are shrinking now

 they forgot their roots

 and sloped in the ground

Prechorus 1

:

and while I'm picking out my favorite names

where our future is concerned

in the steady blur of the days

what brought us here, why we try to say

Chorus

:

we face back all the way

 Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

Instrumental

Verse 2

:

now the cement's hardened in my chest

a world of wax scraped in through text

and someone was calling just before I woke up

 my broken record spits good and bad luck

Prechorus 2

:

and with my broken, pale black eyes

I still see white when the snow falls lightly

in the steady blur of the days

what brought us here, why we try to say

Chorus

:

we face back all the way

 Whoa, whoa

Whoa, whoa

[ENDING]:

Ahhh, Ah

Ahhhh, Ah

Ohhhhh, Oh

Ohhhhhh
